“…Pons et al [31] primarily used collaboration with the keepers by making design decisions based on observations from previous enrichment experiences. Webber et al [39], Gupfinger & Kaltenbrunner [14] and Pons et al [31] do mention using prototyping but do not state how this was done or its implications towards requirements and the designs/systems created. Consequently, as can be seen from Table 1, requirement gathering for zoo-animals is often based upon multifaceted combinations.…”

How early technology requirements are formed for animals involves asking humans caring for the animal to give requirements for them. For zoo animals, this is the keeper and other experts who work with the animal. This requirement gathering process is used as a method of forming user-centric designs for systems for animals. Yet little attention has been paid towards how to form these early requirements in zoos or whom to gather these from. Addressing this, we investigate how to construct technology requirements for the zoo housed animals, using white-faced saki monkeys as an instance. Utilizing the method of questionnaires, we gather requirements from zoo keepers and zoo visitors. Comparing and analyzing our results, we reveal how requirements for animal-technology in zoo contexts diverge and intersect. Our data indicates that these vantages mostly align; with the zoo visitors focusing upon the aesthetics and keepers concentrating on practicalities. Overarching these, we note how requirements in proxy for animals often involves a synthesis of complex motivations, user narratives, vantage points, and prior technology and animal experience that is irreparably intertwined within the requirement process. This paper builds upon requirement gathering methods for unconventional users.

“…For example, Gupfinger and Kaltenbrunner have developed interactive acoustic devices for captive grey parrots (Fig. 5), which allow the birds to make choices about generating sounds and music, with the aim of gaining insight into how grey parrots perceive and respond to different auditory stimuli [5]. Pons et al have focused on an exploration of orangutan behaviour in relation to tangible objects with sound-controlling properties [9].…”

This workshop is designed to offer participants an opportunity to explore different kinds of auditory enrichment for a range of animals in different environments. Teams of participants will work together on a small set of briefs provided by domain experts, brainstorming ideas and developing concepts into welldesigned blueprints for prototype devices. The day will be organized along the lines of a traditional gamejam.
