I know that while Westminster is the big dog show every year, most local dog shows are nothing like it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My idea was, and still is, some form of audio guide that could be used at a dog show, especially if there isn’t an announcer at a local show. I envision either a self-contained device much like those at museums, an app, or maybe both.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The device would have information about all the dog breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club, and you’d either use 3-digit codes to retrieve the breed information, or through AI, the app would retrieve it based on the dog show. The information could be on the screen, but it could also be narrated so you’d be able to focus on the dogs.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I envision this as a tool for anyone at a dog show, with or without disabilities. Anyone with print disabilities would benefit from the breed information being narrated, but anyone who wants to look at the dogs and not their screen would also benefit.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I know this is just an idea and it’s still messy, but that’s what I have in mind. Does anyone have ideas on who I might contact to help me flesh out this idea? Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
