Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project aimed create an imaginable presence of the wild animals in the undeveloped natural locations through believable human-computer-animal interaction interface. The project actually succeeded in the development and integration of nonhuman-centric design protocols, requirements, methods, and context evaluation. The results indicate that users take the reflection of the sound as a cue that triggers the nonlinguistic believability of the wild animals. The developed interface introduced in Demo hour section in interactions magazine (FY 2015), accepted Arte Laguna Prize finalist exhibition (FY 2015) and received Arte Laguna Prize (FY 2016).
