What is it about?
Breathing has been attracting attention as an important biological information, and there are many studies on recognition technology. In our research, we have shown that nasal breathing can be recognized only by a piezoelectric element installed in the nose pad of glasses. We are considering the application of this nasal breathing gesture recognition to device operation.

Why is it important?
Our recognition method does not require any additional external sensors such as a microphone, camera, or temperature sensor to be conspicuous, and can be recognized by glasses equipped with a piezoelectric element that minimizes external discomfort. Also, in terms of device operation, since only nasal breathing is used, there is no need to worry about leaking information to the outside world as gestures or causing discomfort. The above two points are provided in this research.
Perspectives
This paper was the result of a year of research with various preliminary experiments, and it was a great pleasure to publish it. Thankfully, I received several awards, which I am very happy about. I will continue my research as this is a big project.
