Tongue-Driven MouthPad Brings Hands-Free Cursor Control to Computers
Augmental’s MouthPad is a custom-fit mouthpiece that translates tongue and head movements into cursor control and clicks for phones and computers, enabling hands-free access for people with limited mobility; it requires an intraoral dental scan, connects wirelessly across macOS/Windows/Linux/iOS/Android, lasts 7+ hours per charge, takes about 1.5 hours to recharge, and costs $1,400 for a single device (or $1,900 for two) plus the scan, with about six months lead time after the scan; insurance does not cover it, and while comfort varies, it marks a notable advance in accessibility technology and is part of Augmental’s broader roadmap including Vox.
