Abstract
In this study, we propose DualBreath, an input method with eight commands using nasal and mouth breathing. To achieve this, we use an intentional timing shift of the nasal and mouth breathing rhythms as input commands. By combining DualBreath with other input methods such as gaze, we can interact without using our hands, including performing graphical user interface operations.
