There are games where you move around balloons and bubbles by "blowing" on the screen. (The DS also allows voice input for some games, so I think the "sensor" being used to feel the blown air is actually the built-in microphone.) This application already exists on the Nintendo DS.

Non pun intended. By the way always is nice to hear about new ways of manipulate computer. With pleasure i would trade my mouse for something more convenience. I think this invention suck.

I think there can be many more uses for this blow type interface. For example, instead of pressing F5 or right click>refresh, user can just blow on the screen to refresh desktop or opened application :) . depending upon how much they have to spend on this blow detection technology, this can be useful. however i dont think this blow technique can be used to do any thing more useful than an single layer command initialization. may be anyone else has any ideas ???

Of course it's not like anyone's going to use it for everyday tasks (would be pretty exhausting) but as a novelty thing used in some kids games it might be pretty nice actualy. This is so smart!

At first I thought it would be retarded to buy additional stuff just for that. But if all you need is a mic it sounds really great. That’s clever.

But that was indeed pretty cool! Well sometimes we could just invent stuff for fun, not always for utility. =) I would give 10/10 for originality and 1/10 for usefulness.

If only they could affordably have an eye tracking system, so that you don't have to manually scroll. That is cool!
