[nagdu] FW: [Nfbf-l] Someday Your Guide Dog May Have Their OwnWearable Technology

Me neither. 
I assume users can turn this feature off if they don't want it.

Hey, this idea doesn't bother me at all, as long as there is no invasion
into the dog, like skull opening, and that no additional stress is added;
our guides have enough responsibilities.

Doug: my wearable technology says, "time for beer."

: This is quite fascinating, and perhaps useful. My first reaction was that
: our dogs have enough to do without having to give us information we can
: usually figure out for ourselves. But, like everything new, it's probably
: best not to judge its worth prematurely. Read on!

: Someday Your Guide Dog May Have Their Own Wearable Technology
: Wearable computing seems to be the next frontier. The Pebble watch and
: Google Glass are being raved about, but wearable technology doesn't just
: have to be for humans. Researchers at Georgia Tech are working on a system
: called FIDO, or Facilitating Interactions for Dogs with Occupations. The
: idea is that the dog could activate a sensor that would then transmit
either
: a verbal command into a headset or a visual command onto a screen. For
: example, a bomb sniffer dog could tell his handler what kind of bomb it
is,
: or a rescue dog could alert someone that he found an injured person. A
guide
: dog could tell us that there is an obstruction to our right or in front of
: us. According to the article in technology review, "In an early study, the
: researchers equipped a dog vest with an Arduino microprocessor and tested
: four different sensors that dogs could activate by biting, tugging, or
: putting their mouth nearby. The three service dogs participating in the
test
: quickly learned to activate the sensors to set off a tone."
