Handlers also use radios with earpieces for the dogs and cameras and microphones to provide feedback to the handlers. This AR system may enable the handlers to give more precise instructions to their dogs.
- rtkwe 6y agoYeah with this they can in theory lead the dog through a whole building where it'd be really hard with just a radio and camera. They'll have to train the dog for any new signals but they can just replicate the laser pointer plus voice commands they're using now in the AR headset.
