Glass 'Google Glass' for dogs

Google is reportedly planning to develop a dog training computer.

Google has teamed up with the Georgia Institute of Technology to develop a wearable computer system that can provide the dog with a sniffer and mortar to communicate more easily. With their managers, they even allow humans to observe the world through the eyes of animals.

A project called FIDO can allow dogs to bite or otherwise activate a sensor to send information to their handlers.

While technology lovers are eagerly awaiting the launch of the Google Glass smartphone in the market in 2014, Thad Starner, Google Glass's technology advisor, has joined hands with academics at the Public Institute. Georgia produces a computerized vest that supports working dogs.

Associate Professor Melody Jackson said the dogs tested the shirt quickly knowing how to activate the sensors, mainly using the mouth.

Jackson said the device could be used to detect the bomb, or assist the blind man, to let the employer know when a dog is out or when it feeds.
