Our lives have changed a lot post-pandemic. We are using digital devices like laptops more than ever. After experiencing remote learning/working, we are now very close to bidding farewell to conventional methods of learning through books and pens. The usage of laptops& desktops is inevitable for working/ even just existing in today’s world. The problem with these devices is that they are not intended for people with disabilities like upper body amputations, ALS, Quadriplegia, and ailments like fractures. They often find it difficult to use a mouse or a keyboard .our device is an alternative augmentative communication device that can be operated with the mouth. It works based on sip-and-puff actions. The sip and puff actions are sensed+ by a pressure sensor which is then processed to give right& left clicks. the mouthpiece is connected to the pressure sensor and joystick. Due to the ease of operation of Puff-Puff Mouse-mouse when compared to a conventional mouse, it promotes digital equity.
