Do you love to treat your dogs like your kids? Furbo is
designed let you remotely talk to and feed your pet. Furbo is made up of a HD camera, two-way audio and a treat-tossing
mechanism. Rather than being passive and trying to remove the human effort from fetch,
or saving you the effort of bobbing a
cat's toy up and down,
it is designed to promote interaction from a distance.
Owners are able to see what their dog is doing through a 120-degree 720p
camera, which is fitted out with 4X zoom and night vision. There's also two-way
audio, allowing you to hear what your pet has to say and respond from your
desk.
Furbo will even notify you via the companion app when it detects your
dog barking, although it will not keep track of your pet's health.Once you have synced your Furbo
companion app (iOS, Android or Apple Watch) with the Wi-Fi-enabled base unit at
home, you can even remotely launch a treat for your dog. Swiping up on your
live stream will shoot whatever you've loaded into the treat-container off in a
random direction, engaging the pet in a game of close-range fetch. Oddly
enough, nothing in Furbo's material says it can't be loaded with jellybeans and
used to placate children, either.
To prevent curious pooches from
knocking the unit over and feasting on all the treats inside, the unit can be
secured with 3M adhesive on the base, and there is a flush-fitting bamboo lid
on the treat container. If all of this is not enough, or you are not content
with watching your dog's every move alone, the system will let you record video
and photos to share on social media.
Those concerned with privacy will
be pleased to know there is a smart setting that turns the camera off when your
phone is within Bluetooth range, so paranoid partners cannot use the camera to
keep tabs on their spouse using the system. The remote
treat-dispenser is currently on Indiegogo(www.indiegogo.com) and should
be available by July for $239(N48, 000).
