GOING TO THE DOGS: It may look like a harness, but it's practically a computer. Wearable tech for dogs takes off.
A new platform that allows humans and dogs increased communications in all situations, from rescue and other working operations to pet bonding, has been developed by researchers at North Carolina State University.
"We've developed a platform for computer-mediated communication between humans and dogs that opens the door to new avenues for interpreting dogs' behavioural signals and sending them clear and unambiguous cues in return," says Dr David Roberts, an assistant professor of computer science at NC State and co-lead author of a paper on the work.
