This seems like it could go well with AR glasses. Could even be extended to scan the mouth and recognize subvocalizations so you could talk to it without emitting sound or opening your mouth. I.e. a general purpose input device.

What’s the state of the art in subvocalization. I would love to have that as a voice input option.

That would be a game changer, if feasible. I used to wonder why no one tried building a transceiver that picked up speech vibrations from skull perhaps through the ear cavity.

It seems pretty nifty.

I played around with Tobii eye-tracking hardware half a decade ago and was pretty amazed by its precision. I understand now it also has Glasses (vs. the model I tried, a tracker you put below your monitor usually). Marrying eye-tracking glasses with this mouthpad might be a winning combination: eye-tracking being the mouse to navigate in xy-space, and mouthpad for clicks.

Kudos to this group for putting out a finished product though, can't wait to see it used and iterated more out in the field.
