Breath mobile: a low-cost software-based breathing controlled mobile phone interface

Published: 21 September 2012 Publication History

Abstract

This work proposes the use of a low-cost software based breathing interface for mobile phones as an alternative interaction technology for people with motor disabilities. It attempts to explore the processing of the audio from the microphone in mobile phones to trigger and launch software events. A proof of concept of this work is demonstrated by the implementation and experimentation of a mobile application prototype that enables users to perform a basic operation on the phone, such as calling, through "puffing" interaction.
