Prototype hardware and software to implement sip and puff on an iPhone for environment controls.
The Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center for Wireless Technologies is sponsored by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) of the U.S. Department of Education under grant number H133E060061.

Did you ever take this project further? The main thing that a person with quadriplegia would want out of an iPhone is the ability to use a sip and puff switch to activate the Home button, which in turn controls just about everything else that the iPhone does out of the box. The ECU features of your app are interesting, but it would be wonderful to control an iPhone 4S using a sip and puff system like this to invoke the "Siri" voice recognition program that will ship with iPhone 4 running iOS 5!
