Abstract
This paper describes support-equipment of operating a personal computer for users who have an obstacle on the regions of upper limb. The user wears a head set device with an angle sensor, and holds a plastic pipe connected to a pressure sensor in his or her mouth. Tilting his or her head and breathing are used for a mouse cursor operation and characters input. The voluntary tilt angle range and breath strength are memorized to the controller beforehand, so that operations can be performed without fatigue considering user's body situations.
