Chapter 17 in @Animals, Ethics and Engineering - Intersections and Implications. Edited by Rosalyn W. Berne.
This chapter draws on several years of trying out different designs for elephant control systems and of facilitating regular multidisciplinary design workshops (“zoo jams”) that consider ways
we can deploy technology to address animal welfare challenges. The knowledge and insights gained are applied to a discussion of
some interaction design features relevant to non-humans, and how
we used craft as part of a process to support the design of animal centered computing systems. Much of the research has been done in the context of managed non-human animals (henceforth, animals), which means there are always human stakeholders to consider. These might include animal stewards or stock hands, management teams, animal health and welfare specialists, other researchers, and in some cases, visitors. As a technologist, having the opportunity to collaborate with animal specialists continues to be one of the highlights of undertaking research that focuses on other species.
