\n Internet readers may snicker at this prototype for a mouth-based \u201cjoystick,\u201d but the hands-free remote technology<\/a> could be a real advancement for some people living with physical limitations.<\/p>\n

Developed by engineer Dorothee Clasen as part of her master\u2019s thesis on human-computer interaction at Germany\u2019s K\u00f6ln International School of Design, the [In]Brace mouthpiece contains a tiny toggle that can be controlled with the tongue via highly sensitive magnetic sensors. Custom-fitted to the player\u2019s palate and teeth, the plastic retainer connects to a wireless transmitter, worn behind the ear, with a small set of wires.<\/p>\n

Clasen hopes the circuitry, which must travel<\/a> from inside your mouth to a Wi-Fi module, can eventually be encapsulated into an all-in-one mouthpiece.<\/p>\n

To demonstrate how [In]Brace could work, Clasen created an analog to the classic video game<\/a> \u201cPong,\u201d called \u201cTong,\u201d wherein simple flicks of the tongue could signal the paddle to move up and down the screen\u2019s perimeter.<\/p>\n

For the website Design Boom, Clasen explained that the device does require practice to master it, as most humans don\u2019t need to develop eye-tongue coordination for daily life. However, she found her skills \u201cquickly improved\u201d during the first try and she ultimately \u201cenjoyed\u201d the novel gaming experience.<\/p>\n

As most electronic interfaces are controlled with our fingers, the [In]Brace has obvious value for those who live with physical limitations of their hands and fingers but require access to various digital environments, such as logging on to a standard laptop.<\/p>\n

Currently, there are dozens of examples of assistive technology that can perform similar functions, such as chin, blink or sip-and-puff switches. However, these gadgets can be clunky and have a limited range of functions, especially for tasks that require fine motor skills, such as video gaming. For many living with a disability, some games and game systems have become \u201cobsolete\u201d for that reason.<\/p>\n

However, the designer also said the device allows anyone to connect to a digital environment with their tongue, and it could also be useful for those performing complex tasks which are already occupying the hands and feet.<\/p>\n

\u201cA pianist might flip his digital note sheets with his tongue while playing, or a skier could play music from their smartphone with their tongue while skiing,\u201d she wrote.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
