Bionic dog hunts gadgets with RFID nose

by anoop

Sniff is the name of the bionic dog that can identify and react to anything that’s appropriately labeled with an RFID tag. The digital pup will vibrate and make noises to respond in a tactile manner. Sniff is the creation of Sarah Johansson, Timo Arnall and Einar Sneve Martinussen. They are students of Oslo School of Architecture and Design. This stuffed animal is a great concept and it would be perfect for kids with impaired vision. But you can’t get this cute little puppy and only a book is currently available which tells about the technology and also the thought process behind this puppy.
