Seamless interfaces for hands-free human-computer interaction

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

MouthPad is now available across the US.

Over 100 people already use it, some for up to 16 hours/day.

It works for gaming, for CAD (in beta), for Figma, and we're in R&D on wheelchair control.

"I game better, work faster, and life's just easier. Best of all, I no longer feel like my limitations hold me back." — Tomás B., MouthPad user

We want to say a special thank you to our Early Access users. The feedback you gave us, the bugs you found, the conversations about what worked and what didn’t, all of it is the reason we can do this. Thank you.

And that's only half of what we're unveiling today.

And here's the other half of today’s launch. VOX: a microphone you wear on your skin, made for dictation.

The beta is open. Every VOX sold in this batch goes toward buying a MouthPad for someone who can't afford one.

Every VOX clip you'll see from us is a live demo. No cuts.

MouthPad and VOX introduce Skinware: technology worn where the body meets the machine.

"The most profound technologies are the ones that disappear." Mark Weiser, 1991

The best hardware for AI is the kind you barely notice. Glasses, rings and pins make a statement, but a tech company shouldn't get to dress you.

Put VOX on in the morning, and forget it's there. Available when you need it. Gone when you don't. by @augmentaltech

VOX is the keyboard. MouthPad is the mouse. Neither one shows.

And for those of you who asked: yes, we’ve also tested wheelchair control outside the lab, on busy floors.

MouthPad^Drive is an early prototype that translates tongue input into fluid wheelchair control. Early work in the lab has involved mapping directional commands, tuning the sensitivity, and understanding what safe, intuitive navigation will require.

The MouthPad^ began as a way to control phones and computers. Extending the interface into physical movement opens an entirely different new set of possibilities. And this is just the beginning.

A tongue-controlled wheelchair. This is real.

If you caught our Mario Kart clip, you've seen what the MouthPad^ can do on a screen. Now, we're taking it into the physical world.

Mario Kart on Nintendo Switch. No hands, just the MouthPad^. 🏎️👻

Play along: Corbin is using tongue movements to steer, presses to drift, and sips to clock Metal Mario (with the green shell!).

We’re testing different games on the MouthPad^ because each genre peels back another layer of input design. Racing games demand something different from fighters or RPGs: continuous directional control — you can't pause steering.

8.51 bits per second — no implant. 🧠

Our user Tomás Baptista completed a 60-second run of the MouthPad^ Benchmark module, reaching 8.51 bits per second (BPS) using head-tracking and tongue clicks. His personal best: 9.98 BPS.

That's comparable to top-performing brain-computer interfaces — without requiring surgery.

From Tomás: "The mouthpad's a game-changer; it totally revolutionized how I use my computer. I tried a lot of other computer interaction devices before, but most of them were physically straining and awkward. The mouthpad was intuitive from the start."

Watch the full run on our YouTube channel.

From the lab: Lord of the Rings, hands-free. 🎮😝

Watch our very own Aragorn play LOTR with the MouthPad^ — moving around with licks and attacking with tongue presses and sips.

Gaming is one of hardest tests for an input device: fast feedback, high stakes, spatial memory. If you can move confidently through a dark cavern surrounded by enemies, you can rule all your devices, hands-free.

Every game we test teaches our team something new about input design.

“Controlling my mouse with my mouth!” Couldn’t explain the MouthPad^ better (or with more style) than @lookmomnohands 🧢 We sent Ryan, a designer and accessibility advocate, a MouthPad^ to get his feedback on the device. Check it out!

“Big thanks to @augmentaltech for sending me the MouthPad^ to try out! Here’s my honest take on this game-changing device. I’ve been testing the MouthPad, a hands-free device that lets me control my digital world using just my head and mouth. It fits comfortably in my mouth and responds to simple gestures like head movements and tongue taps to move the cursor, click, and scroll. It’s been amazing to see how seamlessly it works across devices like iPhones and tablets. Plus, the app makes it super easy to customize the controls to fit my needs. MouthPad is truly a game changer—not just for me but for anyone with mobility challenges.”

I’m excited to share that I’ll be speaking at @figma’s CONFIG in San Francisco this May at the Moscone Center!

I’ll be sharing the stage with Corten Singer, co-founder of @augmentaltech, to demo the MouthPad.

I’ll also be talking about my design journey, my work at @rocketofficial, and my advocacy for inclusive design. Can’t wait to share how technology and design can break barriers and create more opportunities for everyone.

Who’s coming to CONFIG? Let’s connect!
