This DIY, open-source alternative challenges the high cost of assistive tech, no need for pricey MouthPads, eye-trackers, or complex Neuralink setups. Everyone deserves access, and this project proves that innovation can be inclusive.
Congrats on the launch! It's inspiring when this kind of tech isn’t locked behind patents or high costs. Thanks for putting it out there.
the concept looks strong already, but I think adding video tutorials for beginners could make it easier for people who aren’t comfortable with DIY projects. A step-by-step guide with visuals might lower the learning curve and attract more first-time users. Would love to see that on the GitHub page.
The idea sounds great, but I wonder about the durability of a DIY device at such a low cost. If components break down quickly, users might stuggle to replace them on their own. It would be helpful to know how you’re addressing reliability.
Crazy that this runs under $10, that’s like nothing compared to commercial setups. Wondering tho, how stable is the latency on Android devices?
This stands out as one of the most practical launches I’ve seen lately. No gimmicks, just a tool that solves a real problem. Wishing you all the success with adoption.
This is amazing, Love seeing open-source projects making assistive tech affordable and accessible. Curious, have you seen more interest from individual DIY users or from organizations looking to deploy at scale?
Really impressed that you open-sourced the entire project. That’s going to invite a wave of improvements and adaptations from the community. It’s the right way to build trust here.
You have my utmost respect for keeping it open source. I think, someone who can even think of building products like AbleMouse that caters to "specially-abled" people is the kind of superhero we need. All the best for this launch!!!
Congrats on the launch. Sometimes it’s the simplest solutions that create the biggest difference. The plug and play approach seems like it’ll reduce a lot of frustration.
Alexander, amazing initiative. I’ve seen MouthPad demos before but the cost put it out of reach for many people. Having a DIY path opens doors for communities who need it the most.
I love the DIY and open-source approach here. It feels empowering for people who really need it.
Congrats on the launch! 🎉
This is a very important and impactful initiative, Alexander. We, as the tech community at the forefront of innovations, should do more things like this, to use the technologies for good and enhance the well-being of all members of the society. Well done. Wishing good luck, and congrats on the launch!
I believe that solutions like these should be presented and deserve to raise money for creating completed products, as hardware development is financially demanding. But on the other hand, you are proof that anything can be done affordably. Wish you GL!
