LipSync
The LipSync is an assistive technology that allows quadriplegics and other people with limited hand mobility to use touchscreen devices by manipulating a mouth-operated sip-and-puff joystick.
The unit allows users to control an on-screen cursor with minimal head movement, enabling them to independently send text messages, make phone calls, and browse the web. It can be used with most Android and Windows phones & tablets, and all laptops/desktops.
We are releasing this device open-source to make the Lipsync a solution that can be made at the community level for less than $300 (including electronic components).
Using different firmware, it is also possible to use the Lipsync as a joystick for gaming with a computer or the Xbox Adaptive Controller.
2019-10-01 Update: As of Oct 2019, iOS13 supports an on-screen cursor, so the LipSync can be used with iPhones and iPads.
2019-11-07 Update: Revised rear housing and buttons to accommodate wider range of USB cables.
The LipSync project is funded by Google.org, Vancouver Foundation, and the Government of Canada.
