Seamless interfaces for hands-free human-computer interaction
San Francisco, CA Katılım Mart 2020

8.51 bits per second. No implant. No surgery.
Tomás hit 8.51 BPS in a 60-second MouthPad^ benchmark using head-tracking + tongue clicks. Personal Best: 9.98 BPS.
That rivals the best BCIs — at a fraction of the cost.
From Tomás: "The mouthpad's a game-changer. It totally revolutionized how I use my computer."
English
Clear a cavern of enemies with your tongue, and rule all of your devices, hands-free.
Watch our very own Aragorn play LOTR with the MouthPad^ — moving around with licks and attacking with tongue presses and sips.
Gaming = the ultimate stress test for input devices. Fast feedback, high stakes, spatial navigation under pressure.
This is what R&D looks like at @AugmentalTech.

Not sure you meet every qualification? Let us decide! Research shows that women and members of underrepresented groups tend to not apply to jobs unless they meet every requirement, when in fact they’re highly qualified. We’re committed to creating a diverse and inclusive team and strongly encourage you to apply.

We develop novel HCI, with a focus on assistive tech and AI interfaces. Our flagship product, the MouthPad^, is an intraoral wearable that unlocks expressive computer control for people with limited hand mobility. Now, we’re building a consumer wearable that enables next-gen AI interaction while also empowering people with disabilities, staying true to our assistive roots.

@8580b1171e404df @investorMM はい!👅 トラックパッドが舌の動きと圧力を感知します。MouthPad^にはヘッドトラッキング機能も搭載されているので、お好みのカーソルモードを選べます.

@Rainmaker1973 Love any move like this.
this is the real engineering and research that actually makes the world better.

@TravelerChurch @Rainmaker1973 Thanks! The MouthPad^ is FCC-certified.
English
@Rainmaker1973 Can’t imagine this passing FCC testing. Very cool concept though.
English
@DanCote303 @Rainmaker1973 100%. Wouldn't be here without that goal! We've been improving the MouthPad^ for a couple years, with feedback from early users. Check out their stories here: augmental.tech/our-users
The tongue (8 muscles) is fatigue-resistant! We're not aware of any negative muscular impact.
English
@augmentaltech @Rainmaker1973 Let's hope you're actually trying to help individuals and not capitalize on a invention that still needs fine tuning. Has this been tested for months and how the tongue /muscle will react with constant exercise?

@MarioNawfal Thanks for sharing! If you know someone who could benefit from a MouthPad^, please have them sign up here: augmental.tech/waitlist.
Let us know if you have any questions! 👅

FORGET TOUCHSCREENS, THIS DEVICE USES YOUR TONGUE
MIT-trained engineer Tomás Vega has created the MouthPad, a wireless trackpad that sits on the roof of the mouth and turns your tongue into a mouse.
Scroll. Click. Navigate. All without moving a single finger.
Paralyzed users can now operate phones, tablets, and computers, using nothing but the power of their tongue.
This isn’t science fiction. It’s real, and it’s already transforming lives.

@ThatGamerCh1ck Thanks for the kind energy! Please reach out if you’re ever interested in a MouthPad^. (V2 will enable private + hands-free keyboard input through whispered speech, inaudible to others). 👅

WOOWWIE!!! As someone who is limited with the right side of my body, this is INCREDIBLE!!! A hero!!!

The only tech news I've seen this year that hasn't massively bummed me out

@xemilythepanda @Mariethemouse Hi Kimberly! If you still work with people who could benefit from a MouthPad^, we'd love to make it happen. Feel free to reach out to sales@augmental.tech for more info or sign up to our waitlist — we'll be sending purchase invites next month. Thank you! augmental.tech/waitlist

@Mariethemouse I actually love this so much! The amount of patients I’ve had that use a stick to type but it’s so hard esp if it falls out, or they don’t have a good grip on it

He created a device that lets paralyzed individuals control phones, tablets, and computers with only their tongue. Created by MIT-trained engineer Tomás Vega, the device sits on the roof of the mouth and works like a wireless trackpad.

@augmentaltech @Mariethemouse Hope it works out for you and the ppl that could make their lives easier with your gadget

@peytwalk @gunsnrosesgirl3 Exactly! Called it a Mouth-Mouse at first, but didn't roll off the tongue.
English
Tomás Vega invented a MouthPad, a groundbreaking device that enables people with paralysis to control digital devices using tongue, mouth, and head gestures.
English
@gunsnrosesgirl3 Thanks for sharing! The MouthPad^ launched last year, and we're honored to see it making a difference in people's lives.
Here are a few stories about the MouthPad^ out in the world! If you know anyone who could use a device, please let us know.

Taking your first photo. Checkmating old friends. Turning the last page of a bedtime story. The MouthPad^ is out in the world, and our users are giving the device — some sensors, circuits, algorithms, and resin — new might and meaning in their daily lives. Watch Keely’s story, and check out how people are using the MouthPad^ for work, play, and everything in between. Introducing: Keely, Esther, and Josh.
