Newest Form of Computer Input: Your Tongue

If you thought the battle for the newest computer input method was between gesture-based, keyboard, speech, etc -- you would be missing out on one of the more recent advancements in computer input which is being used by the disabled. And that would be your tongue. Using a magnet and sensors, disabled people can communicate well with a computer.I spent some time watching my tongue move in a mirror as I imagined the potentially infinite ways the tongue can move. It is quite possible that the tongue could become a more common method of input but then again, the idea of connecting a magnet to the tip of your tongue is probably not so appealing to the masses. I suppose swallowing these things could become a problem.

My comment is that tounge is very dangerous way of input since the magnet that will be use will be swallowed. I think, there are better ways or methods of input for disabled person rather than the tounge like the eyes. And, I don't want to be on the computer with my mouth open for how many hours. It's so difficult, tiring and absolutely funny.
