Abstract

Methods and systems described herein relate to using nasal vocalizations to control a head-mountable device. An example method could include causing at least one sensor of a head-mountable device to detect a vibration. The head-mountable device could include a near-eye display. The method could further include determining the vibration corresponds to a first nasal vocalization from a plurality of nasal vocalizations. The method could also include controlling the head-mountable device based on the first nasal vocalization. The plurality of nasal vocalizations could include at least an affirmative vocalization and a negative vocalization.
