Researchers Use Tongue as Interface

 
At the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition in Pensacola, researchers are developing a system that will use the tongue as the interface for Navy SEAL divers, Army Rangers, and other front-line soldiers.

"Most of the human-computer interaction so far has been on using the eyes, ears, and hands," said Dr. Geri Gay, professor of Communications and Information Sciences at Cornell University and an expert on interface design.

"Everything nowadays is so ubiquitous with mobile computing, and we need to find new, hands-free ways of interacting for environments where your hands and eyes are busy," she noted.  "I could see something like this being used in cars."
