Rex’s Open Assistive Resources

We build open-source assistive tech that gives people a voice. At Open Sauce 2026 you can get hands-on with T-Rex Talker V3, our AAC communication devices that adapt to each user’s abilities — buttons, touch screens, sip-and-puff, and soon eye tracking. Then take on the Head To Head Rubber Chicken Challenge, our hands-on communication-device trainer. It’s all open source. Come build with us.

Featured video — the cable story

Talk about bad luck — I had to have my brother grab some inferior cables on his way to the airport to get my display running, and Linus was giving them away on the other side of the wall!

Debuted at Open Sauce — now live

Bunny Feeding Frenzy is on Google Play. Free.

Debuted at Open Sauce 2026 alongside the T-Rex Rubber Chicken Challenge — now free on Android. iPhone testers needed — TestFlight beta is open (App Store next). Best of all: in the stim version you throw carrots by saying “Pew.” You do have to enable tilt + voice in Settings, but still — “Pew” to throw. How cool is that?

iPhone testers: you may need to install TestFlight first. If you like it, please leave comments and a review — thank you!

Get it on Google Play → Join iPhone beta (TestFlight) → Game docs

We’re at Open Sauce — booth FS.219

A triple booth. Come find us in the Fiesta area — the map below shows how to get there from the main aisle.

R.O.A.R. booth setup on-site at Open Sauce — FS.219 260024
The booth on-site — two blue-covered tables, T-Rex banner, R.O.A.R. panel, rubber chickens on the fence. I wish I’d remember to take photos after I finish setting up… oh yeah, I’m too tired.

Fresh from the workshop — the booth is real

Before we hauled it to San Mateo: metal parts landed from SendCutSend, the Sip-N-Puff dropped into its orange T-Rex enclosure, and the whole booth came together.

The complete booth — T-Rex head badge, R.O.A.R. banner, monitor, Sip-N-Puff in its orange T-Rex enclosure, and the base engraved “Thank you Prusa · SendCutSend”.

Also arriving with us

Bringing the new PCBs.

The full set of production prototype boards landed on June 30 — V3 Stim main, processor + Nonverbal daughter stack, Sip-N-Puff V1.2, and the shared SEESAW daughter. We’re bringing them to Open Sauce along with the booth so you can see the new hardware in person.
