Apparently, you can use your tongue as a computer interface. At least, that's what some researchers are doing at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition in Pensacola, where researchers are developing a system that will use the tongue as the interface for Navy SEAL divers, Army Rangers, and other front-line soldiers. Check out this article from CIO Today, which I got from reading the ACM Sigmobile E-mail newsletter. Personally, I think using the tongue as a human-computer interface in public would be quite rude. Imaging seeing somehow stick out their tongue to control something, you would think that the person is sticking the tongue out at you!
Talking about human-computer interaction, congratulations goes to Ravin Balakrishnan, a professor in DGP at the University of Toronto for getting the Canada Research Chair in Human Centred Interfaces.
