Japanese technology has lead to the creation of the “Inupathy” collar, a device that supposedly reveals the complicated emotions of its canine wearer and will likely be a must-buy for those obsessed with their beloved pooch but of not of too questioning a mind.
The collar will alternate between a variety of colors depending on the dog’s mood, with red for excitement, blue for relaxed, white when “concentrating” and a rainbow light for happy:
A PV detailing Inupathy’s various features:
Inupathy apparently tracks the subject canine’s heart rate to ascertain its current state of mind, additionally keeping track of the dog’s tendencies while even recommending specific activities based on said statistics.
The Inupathy collar is available for pre-order by way of its Indiegogo page for a whopping $169, though the device will not be shipping out until December.
Why the hell do we need something that understand dogs if we don’t even understand ourselves?
Ahh, you’ve got a point there my friend
Very obviously, the rainbow light does not indicate “happy” but gay. Christians in America are working to make these mandatory for children.
Or you could just…I don’t know…learn how to recognize dog behaviors? Like any reasonable dog owner does?
But humans and dogs actually do already have a pretty accurate grasp on how each other’s body language conveys their moods, since we’ve evolved as companions alongside one another for millions of years. Make one for a bird or a fish of you want to make something helpful.
This is total nonsense. Were you perhaps born with knowledge of canine body language? No? Neither are dogs born with knowledge human body language. Completely unimportant if dogs and men were together for milennia or since yesterday. The owner has to learn about his dog and the dog about the owner.
We only really *get* our dogs and vice versa after spending the time living along each other. Just get a dog owner and a non-dog owner and have them sit before a dog. The dog owner will likely ‘get’ what that dog is thinking vs the non-dog owner by virtue of having lived with dogs for long enough to figure them out.
In my personal experience I keep seeing cases of dog owners who are shocked that their dog suddenly attacked some random passersby.
Now everyone knows their dog as well as they think they do
Aren’t you exaggerating too much here? Since when do we have actual records of human civilizations from over a million years ago with dogs, not to mention your claim of “for millions of years” Make sense before you type if you want to appear smart to strangers on the web.
What about that cat talking thing? Did that go anywhere or was that a joke video?
