VR for Dogs
Pet centric virtual reality equipment and experiences | |
Essentially, what it says in the title - equipment might
include visors, harnesses and air-blowers (to recreate that
wind in your ears sensation) while virtual worlds might
feature interesting car journeys with open windows, enclosed
barns filled with cats, multi-dog experiences with smell-o-
matic
enhancements. Owners might be able to connect via a
differently configured headset to join in and become part of
the experience, opening up a host of other cross-species
options and experiences.

Neat idea, but been done. Not sure about the smellomatic and wind attachments though.

I am still not seeing the specific technical equipment and software to build a true-to-life simulation of licking another dog's poo |
|
|
The only problem I see is that smell is such a powerful part
of how dogs experience things, I'm skeptical about how
much enjoyment they'd get from any of it without the
smell-o-matic. Any idea how well those work? |

Hamsters, they're small so take up less space, put a VR
headset
on them place them in a hamster ball in a cradle with ball
bearings at all contact surfaces to allow free movement of
the
hamster ball without it actually running around all over the
floor, connect to the internet & use them in place of AI for
your NPC animals, you could have warehouses full of them
for
big game worlds. |

|
Or use chickens .. (simulated) free range battery hen farms
with a side-
line in renting out
their chickens as non-artificial AI. |
|
|
We could use that as a
small revenue stream to help fund
the intelligent mouse project. |

Dogs do use their eyes a lot, although like you say, smell is a
huge part of their total sensory input. It worries me a little
with mouse-based neuroscience where they use videos/visual
input as stimulus. Mice are REALLY not vision driven, they'd be
legally blind as humans. I wonder if they're carefully
controlling the smell/sound/vibration environments well
enough. |
