Blair Drummond research sniffs out new possibilities for animal-computer interaction
Published: 17 April 2025
UofG computing science experts teamed up with Blair Drummond Safari Park zookeepers to test ‘SensorySafari’, a prototype interactive system which enabled red-ruffed lemurs and humans to share linked multisensory experiences. The results of the project, set to be presented at a conference this month, suggest that the everyday lives of the endangered red-ruffed lemurs could be enriched by on-demand access to video and sound clips, as well as the distinctive smells of favoured foods and plants.
