The Nordic Society for Invention and Discovery has come up with a dog-to-English translator that will enable us to understand our pooches a little bit better.
Named “No More Woof”, this detachable headset translates the sounds your dog makes and processes it through a Raspberry Pi microcomputer.
So far, the makers have managed to map out the thought patterns for “I’m tired”, “I’m excited” and “Who are you?”, with plans for French, Mandarin and Spanish versions in the future.
For this project, the team took to Indiegogo and raised a total of US$15,000, surpassing their initial target of US$10,000. The invention is slated for release in April 2014.
Although it looks like we will be able to understand our dogs better, the creators stress that this invention is “rudimentary” and a “work in progress”.
What do you think—would this really help us communicate better with our canine friends?
