This goggles are an augmented reality device designed specifically for use by canine members of the military. Look, military dogs are in charge scouting areas for explosives, but handlers usually need to charge of scouting areas for explosives, but handlers usually need to be nearby to issue commands. The human handlers don’t have their companions’ ability to sniff out bombs and could accidentally set them off. They could also be targeted while they’re working out in the open.
The device was developed by Command Sight, Inc. as a project for the Army Research Laboratory. According to the Army’s official website, the goggles can display the dog’s visual cues to follow, and it also has a camera so the handlers can see everything their companies see. That means there’s no essence for a handler to be nearby to issue hand or spoken commands at all.
Dr. A.J. Peper founded Command Sight in 2017 after identifying the need for better human-animal communication on the field. The company’s prototype uses goggles military canines are already using to protect their eyes from the elements, so the dogs don’t have to be trained to wear yet another equipment.
The latest design is kind of awkward, which means a handler still has to close nearby, and the researchers still have to be nearby, and the researchers are still making inquiries on canine perception and behavior to make the tool more effective. The good news is that Command Sight has secured funding for the next phase of the project and is planning to develop a production level wireless device that it hopes will be set within the next couple of years.
