Abstract
Breathing is the most basic requirement for having good health. However, unhealthy breathing like overbreathing and hyperventilation will happened easily without any awareness. We propose an experimental breathing movement exercise system - Virtual Blowgun System (VBS), offering an easy way of breathing exercise, for people of different physical strength, without space and safety limitations.
