Google Glass and talking dogs? The dream of every kid coming true

Staff The Business Review

Dogs can understand some sophisticated commands. But until now, they?ve never been able to talk back, save for a bark or growl.

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are working on a device that dogs can wear that will allow them to ?talk? with the help of other devices like Google Glass, Fast Company reports.

The research is not for novelty?s sake, but is focused on working dogs, like bomb sniffers and rescue K9s. How does the device work? Fast Company reports that the dogs wear vests that have sensors. Each sensor has unique info and is triggered when tugged by the dog?s mouth. The vest can then interact with a human wearing Google Glass.

?A bomb sniffing dog could tell you what kind of bomb you have,? lead researcher Melody Jackson tells Fast Company. ?A search-and-rescue dog could pull something on their vest and have it geolocate and tell you exactly where that person is.?
