    An underwater wearable computer for two way human-dolphin communication experimentation
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-09) Kohlsdorf, Daniel ; Gilliland, Scott ; Presti, Peter ; Starner, Thad ; Herzing, Denise
    Research in dolphin cognition and communication in the wild is still a challenging task for marine biologists. Most problems arise from the uncontrolled nature of field studies and the challenges of building suitable underwater research equipment. We present a novel underwater wearable computer enabling researchers to engage in an audio-based interaction between humans and dolphins. The design requirements are based on a research protocol developed by a team of marine biologists associated with the Wild Dolphin Project.

    Facilitating Interactions for Dogs with Occupations: Wearable Dog - Activated Interfaces
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-09) Jackson, Melody Moore ; Zeagler, Clint ; Valentin, Giancarlo ; Martin, Alex ; Martin, Vincent ; Delawalla, Adil ; Blount, Wendy ; Eiring, Sarah ; Hollis, Ryan ; Kshirsagar, Yash ; Starner, Thad
    Working dogs have improved the lives of thousands of people. However, communication between human and canine partners is currently limited. The main goal of the FIDO project is to research fundamental aspects of wearable technologies to support communication between working dogs and their handlers. In this pilot study, the FIDO team investigated on-body interfaces for assistance dogs in the form of wearable technology integrated into assistance dog vests. We created four different sensors that dogs could activate (based on biting, tugging, and nose gestures) and tested them on-body with three assistance-trained dogs. We were able to demonstrate that it is possible to create wearable sensors that dogs can reliably activate on command.

    Can I Wash It? : The Effect of Washing Conductive Materials Used in Making Textile Based Wearable Electronic Interfaces
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013) Zeagler, Clint ; Gilliland, Scott ; Audy, Stephen ; Starner, Thad
    In this paper we explore the wash-ability of conductive materials commonly use in creating traces and touch sensors in wearable electronic textile systems. We performed a wash test measuring change in resistivity of conductive traces constructed using different combinations of conductive materials after each wash cycle.
