A collar-based Motorola tracker that brings IoT and Smart Tech to your furry-friend! - Yanko Design

I imagine that smart-gadgets for pets could only be a very hot category nobody's picked up on. People are going to slap-up lengths to deliver great care for their pets, and then imagine existence able to leverage smart-engineering to make their life better? It has the potential to be massive!

This is the Motorola Activa, an IoT Device that sits on your dog's collar. It uses a GPS sensor and a temperature sensor to help you know the whereabouts of your dog, and whether they're feeling hot or cold. The Activa lets you track your pet's location if they ever escape, and even gather data on how they're feeling. Moreover, as a preventive measure, you can set up a geo-fence too, so when your pet does happen to wander outside its territory, you receive an instant notification alerting y'all of your pet's whereabouts.

The Activa is a pretty bones approach to what IoT can do for pets, but imagine how far we could get. You could brand phone calls and talk to your pets, capture their POV using an prototype-stabilized photographic camera, and even play music to calm your pet downward when they're angry, anxious, or scared. The opportunities are limitless!
