It's not just people who have useful advanced gadgets that they can wear or bring anywhere they want. The start-up technology company specializing consumer electronics, Kyon, have developed the very first smart pet collar called Kyon Pet Tracker where it helps pets to communicate with their owner.
This may be unrealistic to imagine just like the dog named Dug, the obese golden retriever in the movie "UP" who wears a collar with a tracker and a speaker that translates his thoughts into words. Kyon has finally made some of these promising features real.
"I have a Maltese named Charlie, and I wanted to be able to communicate with him," the founder of Kyon, Leon Yohai, said, according to Digital Trends. "So I wanted to know when he needed to go out, if he was too hot, if he was too cold - I wanted to know exactly what was going on with him."
Kyon had the fundamental idea to make the Kyon Pet Tracker looking like an ordinary or regular dog collar than an obvious tech gadget. The collar is built in with several sensors to protect your pet and detect your pet's health issues.
It is built with heat and water sensors, GSM, GPS, accelerometer, altimeter, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a led display for the owner to ready any message or information they need to know about their pet.
The collar has a tracking technology that tells where your dog is exactly located with the help of the Kyon mobile app that you need to download in your smartphone and a base station that you can place in your home.
This mobile app has a mapping feature where you can set perimeters or boundaries for your pet. Once your pet goes outside the set parameters, the system will notify you. This is the answers to the big problem of lost pets every year which recorded over 10 million cases according to a research that was done by Yohai and Kyon.
The collar installed with the sensors can tell your pet's temperature. This can prevent heat strokes or heat stress in pets which is also considered one of the many causes of pet deaths like dogs.
This smart pet collar doesn't have the thought translator feature yet but who knows it might be invented in the near future. The innovation of technology knows no boundaries so everything is possible.
