Redesigning the computer mouse
summary
A custom dental retainer with flexible stretchable PCBs houses a tongue trackpad plus wireless Bluetooth, head-tracking cursor, and sip‑and‑puff inputs, tested in demos and customer videos and claimed to match Neuralink performance on one top user. Rapid digital-scanning cuts fit time from hours to minutes, onboarding reaches clicking and pointing in 20 minute onboarding sessions, and early integrations include wheelchair drive control and game input; roadmap promises silent speech from intraoral sensors and a product called MouthPad.
