About the solution
Vincent decided to make a modified Wii Remote controller working as a mouse computer when he saw one of his aunts using the computer mouse with her hands. Due to an illness her hands shake a lot.
The device is controlled through tongue motions. It’s like a helmet that you put in your head, then you insert a bubble tap keychain in your mouth. That will work like a computer mouse. From here you are able to surf the internet and, with some practice, you might as well be able to make some drawing on the windows paint app for example!
