Mouth-Controlled Joystick Lets Quadriplegics Play
From: Product Design & Development - 02/10/2014

Matt Victor is a C1 quadriplegic, with no feeling from his neck down, but
that doesn’t keep him from playing his favorite video games. Using a series
of sips and puffs, he can move digital characters as he would with any
standard game controller.

The joystick for quadriplegics, or Quad Control, was first designed by Ken
Yankelevitz. Due to age, Yankelevitz is no longer manufacturing the
controller, leaving a want from loyal customers like Victor.

To answer demand for the Quad Control, engineer Fred Davison decided to take
on the task of developing a new controller, and is currently seeking funding
on Kickstarter for his updated version, the QuadStick.
