• Breath Mobile: A Software-Based Hands-Free and Voice-Free Breathing Controlled Mobile Phone Interface

  Jackson Feijó Filho, Thiago Valle, Wilson Prata · 2012 · Proceedings of the 14th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS)

  This short paper proposes Breath Mobile, a software-only breathing interface for mobile phones that uses the device's built-in microphone to detect puffing patterns and translate them into navigation and selection events. Unlike traditional sip-and-puff controllers that require…
