Tongue-Controlled Gameboy Advance SP Launched
Hangin10 writes "Simmunity Corporation and newAbilities Systems Inc. is going to introduce a specially modified tongue-controlled Gameboy Advance SP for young people with quadriplegia. They say 'We retrofit the Gameboy Advance SP with an internal PIC microcontroller to decode the wireless tongue transmitter signals and activate the GBA buttons. Games which do not require multiple simultaneous button presses can be played. We also offer custom games and special programs for augmented communication.'"
Nothing but bonuses all around on this one... /P
Quo usque tandem abutere, Nimbus, patientia nostra?
A tongue controller. Hmm... does anyone know if Virtual Valerie 2 has been ported to the Gameboy Advance SP? I may yet buy one of these, assuming my medical plan covers lockjaw.
Trolling is a art,
Mind if I have a quick play on your Gameboy after you? Yeuch! On 2nd thoughts, i'll give it a miss.
Damn it!!! Lesbians will have a leg up on these games to start.
Evolution or ID?
Isn't that a little outdated? I thought our scientists were working on controls built around electrodes attached to the brain.
I really can't think of any games (other than RPGs) that don't require multiple buttons pressed simultaneously.

Let's not make any handicapped jokes please. Alright, porn industry jokes are fine.

That would work

Don't buy this product.

GAAH! MY PRINTER IS ON FIRE!!! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT!
I wonder if those guys that have their tongue split in the middle, if they can maneuver at least two buttons at a time. And man.. you'd have to disinfect that controller all the time. The only think I could see this in actual realistic uses (besides gaming) is if you put a cam hooked into the GBA (which Nyko has just released at E3). Modify that some and you'll have an electronic rear-view! I can think of some good uses for this. Nice to see some people doing things for the handicap.

Who knows, maybe some games will be programmed to taste differently, like if you're playing Final Fantasy Tactics advance and one of your characters gets healed, a small dose of liquid or chemicals is released so it tastes like strawberries or chocolate. If one of your characters dies, citric acid would be sprayed in your eyes.
Like most are thinking, it's win-win. (Hey at least it wasn't a sex joke...)
Yup...
> probably never had to spend four hours lying on your kitchen floor trying to get back into wheelchair because you fucked up trying to open a jar of pickles,
First I was going to point out what a reactionary jackass you are and how the average person in a wheelchair probably read your post and thought "Wow, what's up *his* ass?" Then I read that sentence I quoted up there, called the wheelchair-bound dude in my office over, and we both laughed at it until we were crying. It's the "pickles" thing that makes it so funny, I think.
Oh, btw, Mike (the guy in the chair)said "I hear that shit all the time from people who think I need to be saved from 'normal' people. Hell, I'm in a wheelchair but that tool has no sense of humor. Between the two of us, I win."
Think about that.

After 70 comments Roderick approached the comments page with excitement, for he had immediately come up with a witty, +5 FUNNY comment for the Gameboy Advance tongue controller story. Oh it was brilliant, so obvious and so incredibly witty
He paused a moment, silently making a prayer that nobody had thought of the "pR0n" implications for such a device, cackling with the sheer thought of the accolades raining down upon him he assured himself that he would be first to that punch.
Scrolling down the filthy cackle was replaced by a dismayed groan. 70 Demoralising comments regarding cunnalingus later he sighed and resigned himself to tell the harrowing story of how he was not as "original" as he had thought.

There are limits to my comedy. There are things that I'll never laugh at. The handicapped. Because there's nothing funny about them. Or any deformity. It's like when you see someone look at a little handicapped and go 'ooh, look at him, he's not able-bodied. I am, I'm prejudiced.' Yeah, well, at least the little handicapped fella is able-minded. Unless he's not, it's difficult to tell with the wheelchair ones.
This means there might just be hope for my dream of a GBA SP with a huge screen for visually impaired gamers like myself. :) Perhaps I should look into making one myself...
This is just really cool. I like the idea that some kids are going to have some fun playing Gameboy games like the rest of us because of this. Good work, guys!

You should feel so very proud of your ability to express an entire paragraph of text without coming anywhere near making a point.
The ability to smile and/or laugh at just about anything is one of the only mental mechanisms that keep a lot of people sane. It's not the most noble thing in the world, but I'll be damned if I'm going to spend every day and night of every day feeling sorry for people who don't want my pity.
Socially, you're damned-if-you-do and damned-if-you-don't when it comes to the 'differently-abled'. If your heart bleeds, you are given hostility because you're just overcompensating for something you 'just could not understand'. If you try to smile about it, you're given hostility for finding 'humour in the suffering of others'.
In conclusion, fuck everyone else and live your life. Try to feel good about yourself, and try to make others feel the same. Don't count on either one succeeding, though.
Everything can be funny. It may not be tasteful or right, but it is funny. I find it hard to believe you've never laughed at a joke making fun of someone because of their handicap, religion, or race. Those 3 things make up about 50% of all comedy.

Well, first off, it's a big assumption that I am not handicapped. Second, you assume that the handicapped cannot make jokes about their own conditions. Third, and more importantly, you would probably not laugh when a handicapped person does.
Believe me, the handicapped have good senses of humour. And I am well familiar with handicaps, both from having one myself and from having relatives and friends who do as well. I also volunteered teaching ASL to the deaf when I was younger. Believe me, most jokes lose nothing in translation to ASL, and some even gain something.
So relax, and quit thinking of us as needing your (useless) pity.
You can have it fast, accurate, or pretty. Pick any 2.
Yeah...This forum is full of insensitive clods!!!
Does anybody else here see a health concern regarding this project?
I mean, you're sticking your tongue on a surface that could be crawling with germs and bacteria all over if it's not taken care of properly. Especialy if someone careless has been using it before. (Eww...dog germs!)
I know how annoying it is when someone with filthy hands doesn't wash them before picking up a control pad that I eventually end up using as well. And let's not forget this previous story about how dirty workstations can really be.
I saw this exact device, hooked up to a NES, in 1989 at Shriners Hospital for Children.
The tongue is just another muscle, excersize it enough and it too will grow. It will grow so much that there is no room for food in these peoples mouths.. They will starve to death if they don't choke on their tongue first. +1 for natural selection!
Pretty much.
This just in: In a move similar to Microsoft's licensing of "Start Me Up" by The Rolling Stones, Nintendo has optioned KISS' "Lick it Up" to promote their new product.
In a related story, KISS spokesman and resident carny barker Gene Simmons has been tapped as the principal play-tester for the device.
It isn't a memory leak. It's an object life-span issue.
That's the future. The disabled are just the initial testers. Once perfected, I'll be first in line to implant whatever into my skull so I can I/O directly to my brain. That is the future.

I remember a feature in the Nintendo Fun Club magazine (remember before Nintendo Power?) that showed a controller that strapped to your chest, was played with your chin, and you blew/sucked on a tube for the A/B buttons. There's a review from '89. There are also some photos although the one I remember was black and red (maybe just a prototype) and I don't see a tube in the photos...

If anyone is interested in the XPort FPGA and I/O Adaptor used in this project, there is a good article about it, in the May 2004 issue of Dr. Dobbs Journal. They use it as a spectrum analyzer, and said it's very easy to use. Almost any set of I/Os is possible, making it a super simple embedded platform.
I just read it this morning, and am thinking of getting it myself. Sadly, the article on the website is $$ to view. But, if you're interested in the device, it would be worth paying to view it.

Exactly how many games out there have any of you played that don't at some point in time require you to make use of more than one button at a time? Perhaps puzzle games and even many of those require, or at least are easier if you can push more than one button at a time...

I'm sure it's a much funnier line when delivered by an actor, with some context. As it stands..... Well, read it, take it out of context, and tell me why people are flaming.
Actually, people are just straight flaming, all the time. Which is it, flaming or straight..
I support that opinion. Just this Monday a disabled girl (in wheelchair, some sort of lack-of-coordination-sense disease) made the following joke:
"If I were drunk and driving my wheelchair down the road would I be convicted of drunk driving?"
The whole class was in laughter.
I suppose it's hard to make jokes about their appearence because of other people who pity the disabled ones.

This is a great idea with a good heart behind it.
My aunt has MS and she is basically wheelchair bound and you have no idea how hard it is. She can barely function physically, requiring the aid of other people to help her do every day living things such as getting out of bed, going to the bathroom and transportation to and from work.
Great idea... I love seeing projects that help the folks that most people neglect and leave behind.
When they're apart of your family you really get to see the struggle of people who are wheel chair bound. Its a hard life and anything to improve their life experience is to be praised highly.

The reason the post has attracted moderation has nothing to do with that first line, and everything to do with the context as a whole. Which you decided wasn't worth addressing.

As for your point about crippled people, loosen the fuck up. You're just another one of those politically-correct pussies who uses bullshit euphemisms like "differently abled" because you can't bring yourself to admit the truth. Do you do that so that the guy in the wheelchair can pretend that he isn't crippled, or so that *you* can pretend that he isn't crippled? Or is it just because getting uptight and pissy about every simple joke you hear helps keep you feeling smug?

Geez, discover a fucking sense of humor, you morose liberal douchebag.
I have a sense of humour. I find your miserably pathetic attempt at saving face funny.
In fact, the fact that you need to save face when threatened by an Anonymous Coward is even more amusing.
Finally, nothing in your very factual original post was funny. It was a pathetic pile of 'me-too', adding that which was already known.
Oh, and for the record: YHBT, YHL, etc.

Considering most RPGs/Strategy on the GBA dont require simultanious button mashing, and more slower thought out moves, this device should be pretty damn useful to some of them. Some of the best RPGs/Strategy games have been on the Gameboy platform (FFT, Advance Wars, Phantasy Star Collection, FF Adventures, etc), and it'll be cool that they're more accessable to some people now. Rock on.
I dunno. I once had a girlfriend that was 'tongue operated'.

It keeps me sane, certainly, and I work with the developmentally disabled every day. My clientele runs the gamut from normal-intelligence people that happen to have cerebral palsy to individuals with sub-40 IQs. And most of them have a great sense of humor - if they didn't, as you said, they'd have a hard time staying sane.
Now, when I'm at work, the above thread would not be something I'd say. But when I'm on my own personal time - like right now - I find it hilarious. I've been known to say things that are potentially much more offensive, but to me it's funny.
Then again, 99% of my life is funny in some way. Maybe I was wrong about laughter keeping me sane.

Here here! We aren't laughing because people are handicapped, we are laughing because the idea is funny, smart, and surely implementable. On a second note, in the same way as many games nowadays seem to actually provide hardcore players with enhanced hand-eye. This new type of controller may provide the handicapped with girlfriends.
