Have you ever remembered something for your shopping list while cooking or working out, and couldn't grab your phone to note it down?
Soon you may be able to log your groceries using only your mouth, thanks to a smart retainer developed at the  Institute of Technology (MIT).
The device, MouthPad^, connects to smartphones or บาคาร่าเว็บตรง computers via Bluetooth, and allows the user to select buttons by sweeping their tongue across a trackpad chip.
They can left click by pressing it, and right click by making a 'sip' gesture.
The team from startup Augmental, a spinoff from MIT Media Lab, hope their invention will help those with impaired hand control to live more independently.

MouthPad^ uses a machine learning algorithm inside its processor to follow the user's tongue position precisely.

It then translates these tiny movements into cursor commands, which can allow the user to perform any number of actions that their computer or phone is capable of
'As our lives become increasingly intertwined with technology, and the world expands from the physical to the digital, it's more important than ever to ensure that everyone has equal access to control inputs and new interfaces,' said Tomás Vega, co-founder and engineer at Augmental.
