Cata-Sopro Project: A Blow Joystick Based on Electromagnetic Sensors
Abstract
Nowadays, there is a demand of encouraging the blowing exercise in a playful way. This paper presents the development process of Cata-Sopro, a vi- deogame control prototype that has the blowing exercise its main function. For this, the hardware scheme, operational logic control and preliminary tests re- sults are described. As a result, despite the current demands for extra functional tests and aesthetic improvements, a simple and low cost apparatus was provi- ded, being able to be applied in speech therapies aimed to stimulate desired orofacial exercises.
