A small ball "DogPhone" that allows pet dogs to make video calls with their owners

 

From "Bowlingual" to "MeowTalk", the technology to understand what pets are talking about has existed for quite some time. I don't know how accurate it is, but it seems that many people are looking for verbalized communication with their pets.

But Dr. Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas, a researcher at the University of Glasgow in Scotland, and the 10-year-old Labrador dog Zack seem to have wanted a little more active communication. So he made a small ball "DogPhone" with a sensor connected to his laptop. It seems that when a doggy moves a ball-shaped phone, he can make a video call with the owner.

DogPhone is a bit different from smart gadgets for keeping track of your pet. It's not for commercial purposes yet, but it was created to help dogs experience tech and make it easier to use.

In prototyping the device, Dr. Hirskyj-Douglas said in a YouTube video that pet and dog users were given a lot of dogs to their new home during the 2020 Corona Pandemic stay home. He says he wanted to do research to improve the experience.

"I've made devices for my dog ​​and many other dogs," said Dr. Hirskyj-Douglas. "We believe these devices are important in giving dogs a wealth of choices," he said.

However, while Dr. Hirskyj-Douglas said, "I'm very excited," he said, "I'm worried that something is wrong at home" on days when Zack doesn't call at a fixed time. I heard that it became.

Somehow, it seems that he has fallen into the trap of "bargaining in love", where he temporarily stops contacting him frequently because he wants to attract the attention of the other party. If you feel uneasy like this, it seems that a smart home that shows your pet or home will give you peace of mind.
