Animal-computer interaction

Animal-computer interaction (ACI) is a field of research for the design and use of technology with, for and by animals. It emerged from, and is heavily influenced by, the discipline of human-computer interaction (HCI).

In an ACI Manifesto (2011), Mancini defines one aim of ACI as understanding "the interaction between animals and computing technology within the contexts in which animals habitually live, are active, and socialize with members of the same or other species, including humans".[1] He additionally proposes three core design goals for the field: enhancing animals' quality of life and wellbeing; supporting animals in the functions assigned to them by humans; and supporting human-animal relationships. Accordingly, ACI research gives considerable attention to questions of animal ethics,[2] welfare,[3] consent and power.[4]

A central theme of ACI research is establishing how user-centred design approaches and HCI methods can be adapted to design for animals.[1][5][6][7][8] Accordingly, many studies seek to adopt 'animal-centred' approaches to design and research.[9][10][11]

Much ACI work focuses on technologies to support communication and relationships between animals and humans. Researchers have investigated digital technologies for dogs, including systems for remote communication with dogs left at home,[12][13] wearable interactive devices for them,[14][15][16] and interfaces for working dogs.[17][18][11][19] [20] They have also explored technology for interactions with other domestic animals, including cats.[21][22]
