“…French's work on interactive auditory enrichment for African elephants (French et al, 2018a) uses a physical trigger to provide control to the animal. The "Sound Jam" workshop (French et al, 2018b) also demonstrated momentum within the field of Animal-Computer Interactions (ACI) to create interactive auditory enrichment systems. Further motivating the need for interactiveness, Ritvo (2013) found that there may be differences in how orangutans and humans experience music.…”

There is a strong disconnect between humans and other species in our societies. Zoos particularly expose this disconnect by displaying the asymmetry between visitors in search of entertainment, and animals often suffering from a lack of meaningful interactions and natural behaviors. In zoos, many species are unable to mate, raise young, or exhibit engagement behaviors. Enrichment is a way to enhance their quality of life, enabling them to express natural behaviors and reducing stereotypies. Prior work on sound-based enrichment and interactivity suggest that a better understanding of animals’ sensory needs and giving them options to shape their surroundings can yield substantial benefits. However, current zoo management and conservation practices lack tools and frameworks to leverage innovative technology to improve animal well-being and zookeepers’ ability to care for them. Ethical considerations are called for in developing such interventions as human understanding of animals’ worlds is still limited, and assumptions can have detrimental consequences. Based on several interventions, four principles are proposed to guide a more systematic implementation of sonic enrichment in zoos. The goal is to lay the groundwork for the design of the zoos of the future, with a focus on sounds, for the benefit of the animals.

“…In 2017, the FarmJam focused on environmental enrichment for intensively farmed animals [7] (pigs, goats and chickens) and the associated challenges. In 2018, the SoundJam addressed opportunities for auditory enrichment for animals in a range of captive contexts [9] (chimpanzees, parrots, servals and elephants).…”

This is a report of three ZooJams that have taken place at the annual Animal-Computer Interaction conference. The ZooJam is a type of workshop whose aim is to extend the reach of UX design beyond human experience in order to become inclusive of other species and their interactions with technology. As organisers, our attempts have knitted together colleagues from a range of disciplines, all focused on developing practical solutions to different environmental enrichment challenges. We describe the format of the event, explaining the rationale for this approach, and showcase some of the crafted design outcomes.
