Towards Interface Design for Parrot-Human Communication: Investigating Parrot Selections of Speech Board Representations

Parrots have shown the ability to interact with tablet-based speech boards to engage in parrot-human communication. However, the influence of speech boards’ interface design on avian usability and, thus, on speech boards’ potential to optimally support parrot-human communication, is yet to be explored. As a first step…

Designing Multispecies Worlds for Robots, Cats, and Humans

We reflect on the design of a multispecies world centred around a bespoke enclosure in which three cats and a robot arm coexist for six hours a day during a twelve-day installation as part of an artist-led project. In this paper, we present the project's design process, encompassing various interconnected components,…

Charting Ethical Tensions in Multispecies Technology Research through Beneficiary-Epistemology Space

While ethical challenges are widely discussed in HCI, far less is reported about the ethical processes that researchers routinely navigate. We reflect on a multispecies project that negotiated an especially complex ethical approval process. Cat Royale was an artist-led exploration of creating an artwork to engage audi…

More Than Human Aesthetics: Interactive Enrichment for Elephants

Species-specific aesthetics is an important consideration for interaction designers working with animals. The paper explores the concept of species-specific aesthetics with particular reference to elephants. Applying existing aesthetic dimensions and design principles to the challenge of designing interactive enrich…

Understanding the Interaction Between Animals and Wearables: The Wearer Experience of Cats

Animals can be negatively affected by wearable tracking devices, even those marketed as ‘animal friendly’ and increasingly used with companion animals, such as cats. To understand the wearer experience of cats fitted with popular GPS trackers, we measured the behavior of 13 feline participants while they were wearing…
