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.

What we’re bringing
