Have you ever thought it would be really cool if you could play a game instead of using that damn insintive spirometer?  How many times per hour are you supposed to watch that blue ball go up and down?  Well friends, there is hope!  There are a few cool breathing games/apps available.  The iPhone has a few games that require you to breath to play an instrument (insert iphone games here)

Now, Xyxio has new software called SensaWaft in which users blow a mouse cursor across the screen - "gengle puffs control computers, phones, game consoles, in-vehicle systems etc.....as of yet, this technology is not being used in video games, but IT SHOULD!  (Check out the video under the "video" part of this website.

Does anyone want to contact Xyxio to see if they want to partner in the development of breathing games for rehabilitation?   Folks who are fresh from surgery, over coming pneumonia, or have chronic COPD might really enjoy such a game! 

Hi Everyone,

Well this is the start of something great.  While clearly in its infancy, this website will become the go-to locale on the internet for all things Video Games and Virtual Reality for Rehabilitation.  Stay tuned and feel free to start your own blog here.  If you already have a blog somewhere else related to Games for Rehab, feel free to repost here, we are sure the content is very valuable for our group!!!

Keep the info flowing!!
