According to news from this website on January 10, Augmental, a start-up company from San Francisco, USA, publicly demonstrated its "unconventional" computer accessory-the tongue-controlled mouse MouthPad for the first time during the CES 2024 exhibition.

As the name suggests, this mouse is designed to allow people to control mobile phones and computers through their tongues. To achieve this, the user first places the mouse into the roof of the mouth and uses their tongue to press the buttons to complete the specified operation.

According to reports, this device is designed to help quadriplegic people use electronic products normally. Although many current consumer electronics products provide barrier-free operation methods such as voice commands, for most current computers, it is still difficult to complete efficient work without a traditional keyboard and mouse.

This device can complete operations such as controlling the cursor, clicking and even calling out the virtual keyboard. It is compatible with a variety of devices including iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux, and is connected through Bluetooth .

The device’s ability to create custom molds using customer-provided dental impressions ensures a comfortable fit for all users. In terms of battery life, the device can be used for 5 hours on a single charge.
