ABSTRACT
Poultry.Internet leverages on the reach of the Internet to connect humans and pets at different locations. This system has a tangible interface encompassing both visual and tactile modes of communication. It allows humans to interact remotely with pets anytime, anywhere. The pet owner views the real time movement of the pet in the form of a pet doll sitting on a mechanical positioning system. Meanwhile, the real pet wears a special jacket, which is able to reproduce the touching sensation. The pet owner can tangibly touch the pet doll, sending touch signals to the pet far away. Also, the pet owner receives a haptic feedback from the movement of the pet.

Cat@Log: sensing device attachable to pet cats for supporting human-pet interaction
ACE '09: Proceedings of the International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment TechnologyIn spite of the development of technologies that support human-computer or human-human interaction, few studies have been conducted for improving interactions between humans and pets, pets and computers, or between two pets. We propose a new area of ...
Revel: programming the sense of touch
CHI EA '13: CHI '13 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsRevel is a new wearable tactile technology that modifies the user's tactile perception of the physical world. Current tactile technologies enhance objects and devices with various actuators to create rich tactile sensations, limiting the experience to ...
Wearable Sensing Framework for Human Activity Monitoring
WearSys '15: Proceedings of the 2015 workshop on Wearable Systems and ApplicationsWearable computation is getting integrated into our daily life day by day. In this work, we propose a generic framework to continuously monitor users' daily activities. The framework proposes light computation tasks on the wearable device to reduce the ...
