@atlasberry008: MIT Media Lab spinout Augmental just opened MouthPad to the public — a custom retainer with a pressure-sensitive trackpad on the roof of your mouth. Slide your tongue to move the cursor, press your palate to click. The insight is biological. A huge share of your brain is dedicated to controlling your tongue — 8 muscles, mostly slow-twitch, so it barely fatigues. Everyone racing to read the brain is drilling a new channel. These founders found one already open. Over 100 people with mobility challenges use it daily. But the waitlist is 6,300 — surgeons, mechanics, pianists, parents. Hands-busy is the real market. If you like this kind of thing and want to stay close — join our community Frontier.
