Dog Translator of The Future
-
0:00 - 0:03Hi I'm Catie Wayne and this is animalist-squirrel!
-
0:06 - 0:08So we've all seen the Pixar movie "Up"
-
0:08 - 0:10If you haven't I don't know what's wrong with you.
-
0:10 - 0:12We all know the lovable character of the dog - "Dug"
-
0:12 - 0:15with this little translator and it makes him speak and it's really cute
-
0:15 - 0:17and he's all like "Hi, I'm Dug and I love you"
and it's really cute -
0:17 - 0:21But now Dug's English translator may become a reality.
-
0:21 - 0:25Scandinavian inventor - Studio Total have launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise $10,000
-
0:25 - 0:28for their doggy intercommunication headset.
-
0:28 - 0:33Here is how it works: the headset sits on the dogs head and electroencephalographic technology
-
0:33 - 0:36records electrical activity along the scalp. Nailed it!
-
0:37 - 0:41Voltage fluctuations caused by ionic current flow in the brain are then translated
-
0:41 - 0:44by a Raspberry Pi computer via loud speaker.
-
0:44 - 0:47Although every mammal creates thought signals as a swarm of electrical signals
-
0:47 - 0:51dog's signals might indicate a mental state more than a thought.
-
0:51 - 0:55So while you might learn that your dog is hungry he might actually be thinking of his new toy.
-
0:55 - 0:59As of right now this doggy doohickey is a work in progress that can only distinguish
-
0:59 - 1:02two or three thought patterns such as: hunger, tiredness and curiosity.
-
1:02 - 1:06Chances are you can already tell when your dog is feelings those ways.
-
1:06 - 1:09So the team is now trying to find an algorithm that can learn deeper thoughts over time
-
1:09 - 1:14and speak in short sentences like: My name is Catie and I love you.
-
1:14 - 1:18What would you pay to be able to talk to your dog? So much
