SCE Patents ‘Tongue Control’, Play PlayStation With Your Mouth
As much as we all love the DualShock and other gaming controllers, they do have their limitations, something motion controls have tried (and failed) to take advantage of. But Sony has another solution – use your tongue. - PSLS
(Next-Gen, PS Vita, PS3)
This is more meant for a "see through" visual display future in general.
For instance, if you want to learn how to make Sushi you can put on some glasses fitted with see through OLED lenses (or something similar), the software could not only tell/show you the ingredients you would need (on the display) to make sushi but using AR the software and tongue UI, this app could visually cue you into the safest procedure to cut the fish, carefully prepare the rice, etc. all while you are not multi-tasking with your hands. Your tongue could be translated as a controller user interface to go from step a to step b in this "virtual cook book" and so forth and so on.
I honestly see this coming to homes sometime no later than 2016. Especially considering all the displays people are buying like smartphones, tablets, etc. Even headwear like the Sony VR display and Oculus are kind of kicking up in popularity.
Wow, so Microsoft patents a device that reads the movement of your fingers and Sony counters with something for your tongue. I know who is going to win next generation.
Ummm....considering the stupid things that Nintendo also patents on a daily basis (as well as MS), I think Nintendo's thoughts were actually: "Darn! How did we not think of that first?!"
I'm looking at the as a way for paraplegic, and or other disabled people can keep on gaming. I can see it being used in-conjunction with a controller for a person with one arm. It'd act as the other half of the controller depending on what you need.
Other then for the purposes stated above, I don't think people that don't need it plan on sticking things in their mouths to control ANY game.
To be honest, I am merely speculating as to what they might want to do with this. But to see the possible applications of it, is what I think a lot of people here were missing.
So please save the applause for Sony, they deserve it, if they bring this to the market.
Imhave a friend suffering from ALS, he is paralyzed from the neck down. He uses a similar setup to write emails and navigate his computer. It uses his mouth and and a motion sensor for his eyes. It's pretty cool to see this in action and I can totally see where this could translate into gaming especially for the handicapped.
I think this is honestly a good patent, due to it obviously being geared towards the disabled, who no longer have use of their hands. Perhaps with this they may no longer miss out on gaming.
I don't even like people touching my control pads. Licking control pads is just unhygienic.
I guess this tech maybe designed for people with disablities. People with no hands or fingers are disadvantages at FPS, maybe tongue plus feet(?) control can replicate dual analogs?
Instead of focusing on New IP's and to make better games they come out with things like this? Who the hell in that Sony corporation comes with this stupid ideas. That man should be thrown down from the last floor of the Sony building and the man that approved that should be thrown from a plane.

PS3 Move Controllers that get hot and cold, and playing games with your mouth

They're simply filing for their quadrillionth patent just like Microsoft and Nintendo.
If they're thinking of anything, it's probably something geared towards the disabled.
Whine when they RELEASE it as the main ps4 controller, not when it's thrown together for the patent office by a small engineer team.
Sony is like "let's make tongue gameplay before Ninntendo does! That way, we will lead the concept!"
And Nintendo is like "lolz it's all yours."
