Augmental Tech, co-founded by Fluid Interfaces alum Tomás Vega and collaborator Corten Singer, was recognized in the Social Impact category of the 2023 Forbes 30 Under 30 listings.   

Through this venture, Vega and Singer are building a "mouth mouse:" a smart oral splint that enables hands-free human-computer interaction using tongue, jaw, head, and breathing gestures. The device combines the most common assistive control interfaces, augmented by the unexploited, intrinsic dexterity of the tongue, empowering people living with impaired hand control to live more independently.
