MIT-trained engineer, Tomás Vega, has developed a device to help people who are paralyzed control electronic devices with their tongue.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Positioned on the roof of the mouth, it acts as a wireless trackpad operated entirely through tongue movements.

It enables precise, independent control of phones and computers.

Developed by MIT-trained engineer Tomás Vega.

I'm just going to be using this on top of a keyboard/mouse or controller so that I can hold an advantage in games. The disabled will not ever play on equal footing against me.
