A mouth operated gaming joystick based on the LipSync.

LipSync Gaming

As of 2024-Feb-08, this version of the LipSync is now obsolete and has been replaced by the LipSync 4.

The LipSync Gaming is an assistive technology device that allows quadriplegics and other people with limited hand function to use touchscreen mobile devices, tablets, and computers by manipulation of a mouth-operated joystick with integrated sip and puff controls. This is an Open-Source Hardware project, so the LipSync can be made at the community level for less than $300.

Attribution

The LipSync Gaming was designed by Neil Squire Society / Makers Making Change. The initial development of a 3D printable LipSync was supported by the Google Impact Challenge: Disabilities grant from Google.org. Further development was supported through the Government of Canada's Innovation Science and Economic Development Assistive Technology Program. These and other funders have also enabled Neil Squire / Makers Making Change to deploy numerous LipSyncs to users at reduced cost.

The LipSync firmware utilizes the Arduino development platform, an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino is developed and maintained by the Arduino community, and the project wouldn't be possible without their contributions. Arduino is a registered trademark of Arduino AG. For more information about Arduino and to contribute to the community, visit the official Arduino website at www.arduino.cc.

LipSync_Gaming_User_Guide

• Speed Control section should describe Sensitivity instead of speed.
• Should clarify that difference between mode 1 and mode 2 in terms of timing. e.g. in mode 2, a puff immediately 'presses' Button 1 and it is 'held down' until the pressure is released. In Mode 1, the button press occurs when the sip or puff is released.
