ABSTRACT
With new Animal Computer Interaction (ACI) methods and technology being created for dogs' consideration has to be given to who is in the center of the design process: the human or the dog. This paper aims to explore the problems surrounding this inquiry from the two perspectives a) the aptitude that dogs have to design technology and b) the flaws in how humans are currently designing ACI. This is discussed in a presetting of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) evolution to see whether we can transition HCI methods such as co-design and Grounded Theory Methodology (GTM) from humans to animals using their methods. Finally the philosophies behind a group Animal Computer Interaction Design (ACID) are discussed, along with a categorization of ACI technology and its relevance too who is in the center of design.
