Italian artist and designer Leonardo da Vinci did dissect and draw the
larynx-pharynx five hundred years ago. By then it was a crime to make a scientific exploration of the dead human
body.
But Leonardo secretly began the investigation of the
human inside At the same time astronomers began studying the entire cosmos with
scientific methods and with the new optical instruments of Galileo and the mathematics of
Copernicus - the quest for knowledge was on.
That is a quest that goes on as long as the human civilization is alive. It only pauses in times when humanity is subjected to
laws forbidding the evolution of knowledge, as in old Egypt, and much
later in Europe during the heavy pressure of the Monoteism.
Scholars of the right kind had "once and for all" decided:
There
are several spheres covering the Earth and the
stars are small openings, letting the heavenly light shine down on the
flat Earth at night.
If a craftsman stood up and explained that "this is a absurd idea - the
Earth must be as round as the Moon and the Sun and already the old Greek
knew this, fanatic cardinals only are not able to see that the Earth is
like a giant ball, probably rotating around the Sun"; certain people
could accuse the
craftsman of heresy, and rather often the fires were lit.
During the Renaissance the most insistent Copernicans were burned at the
stake- the most well known of whom was Giordano Bruno.
With the French Revolution came the Scientific Revolution - the race for
new materialistic knowledge - the geographical explorations - new
frontiers - both outward and inward. Scholars of the western world
suddenly jumped over years of theological studies and preparations and
went directly for natural studies - the ultimate exploration of the
Universe. One of the scholars was Carl von Linné - combining
practical observation of nature with intellectual analysis. An other of these
pioneers was Charles Darwin.
A few centuries elapsed, electricity and radio communication was
discovered during the last one and with the computer technology of the
new millennium the human possibilities are unlimited - as long as you practically
can handle the communication devices and the computerized digital
aggregation of knowledge.
To make life more convenient in this respect Scandinavian dentists and computer engineers
have invented a method
to scan the larynx-pharynx region, with an external ultra sound sensor, to enable
true hands
free computing with the Oral Mouse as
a complete replacement of the standard computer mouse.
The visions of Xytech AB add themselves to a long row of small and great inventions, since
the days of Leonardo da Vinci, simply enabling better
control of the environment.
Xytech AB presents
the Oral Mouse and
in combination with speech recognition the Speech
Mouse will take computer accessibility to a revolutionary new
level of freedom and present unheard of possibilities for discreet
communication and computer access for disabled persons.
