Abstract
A blow tracking user interface method and apparatus may detect an orientation of blowing of a user'"'"'s breath and a magnitude of blowing of the user'"'"'s breath. A blow vector may be generated from the orientation and magnitude of the blowing of the user'"'"'s breath. The blow vector may be used as a control input in a computer program.
