Description |
The aims of ACIAlthough animals have been involved in machine interactions for a long
time, their perspective has seldom driven the design of interactive technology intended
for them. Animal-Computer Interaction (ACI) aims to fill this gap by:- studying the
interaction between animals and computing technology within the animals' habitual
contexts- designing interactive technology that can support animals in their habitual
tasks or daily lives, and foster interspecies relationships- developing user-centred
approaches and protocols to the design of technology that is intended for animal useThe
benefits of ACIACI has the potential to expand the horizon of user-computer interaction
to create new forms of interspecies computing and provide novel technological solutions
to problems faced by interdependent species sharing changing social, built and natural
environments. ACI can benefit human and nonhuman animals by:- enhancing our inter-species
relationships- leading to further insights into animal cognition- rendering conservation
efforts more effective- improving the environmental, economic and ethical sustainability
of food production- expanding the horizon of user-computer interaction research.The
ethics of ACIACI research is non-speciesist and, regardless of their species, all
individuals involved are treated as participants equally worthy of respect. To ensure
that ACI research is carried out under strictest ethical standards, we have developed
an ACI Research Ethics protocol, granting animal participants the same protection
granted to vulnerable humans (e.g. children), who are unable to consent to their involvement. |
