Abstract

This is a demonstration of how to use a deck of Concept Craft Cards that represent the first iteration of a toolkit for Animal-Computer Interaction (ACI) developers. The cards will be available to share, discuss and deploy online in relation to a series of non-human client briefs. At the top conceptual level, we offer suggestions for ACI developers embarking on a new design journey; the next conceptual level considers user experience and offers our recommendations for interaction design that values cognitive and sensory enrichment; at a practical level, we provide a set of topic cards, to be used during development to support the realization of design concepts through crafting and tinkering.
