Consider the needs for animals to interact with human-centred technological solutions. How might we design interfaces that do not require language, but rather through behaviour or biological responses? Behaviours—Touch, gesture, movement, play, biting, pulling, pushing, sound Biological responses—Posture analysis, Position, Face,Biometric data (heart and respiration rate, hormone levels, etc.) How might we adapt interaction design to animal hacks, adaptability, and unique abilities, such as sensing weather changes, alternate frequencies, geomagnetic fields, and pheromones, echolocation, infrared sensing, etc.?
