Lick your way to victory with the Mouth Pad, a Bluetooth device that lets you control your PC with just your tongue

The top half of a retainer, with a flexible copper circuit encased inside the dental resin. A small power pack is attached on the right-hand side.

PC gaming isn't always the most inclusive space. Besides the high price of everything from components to games, standard gaming peripherals such as a keyboard and mouse can exclude lots of folks with limited mobility. An expanding array of assistive devices is attempting to bridge that gap.

Augmental describes itself as a company specialising in 'Skinware,' "body-coupled interfaces that let people control computers, communicate, and interact with AI without relying on their hands." Its latest project is the Mouth Pad, a custom-fit mouthpiece that allows users to control PCs, tablets, and phones with just their tongue. The device is now available to purchase in the US and, yes, you can absolutely game with it.
