Breathe in to make the wings flap faster, breathe out to make it glide. That's what a few clever scientists are working on in the U.K. in developing a game which will enable people to relax.

Instead of using a joystick or mouse to control on-screen characters the game uses sensors stuck to a player's body. The sensors monitor breathing and only move characters on-screen if the player breathes in the right way.

I think that this is a great idea. You've seen all those meditation techniques which involve controlled breathing and visualization techniques. Could this be the Next Great Venture for computers? Will computers become the next barbells of our active life?
