🧪 Hypothesis #1: Microphone Breath Detection

Testing: Consumer microphones can reliably detect breathing patterns with sufficient accuracy for real-time gaming.

📦 Calibrate Breath

Follow the box breathing pattern while we measure your breathing range

We'll guide you through a 32-second box breathing exercise (2 cycles) to learn your personal breathing patterns.
