iSeePet: a remote pet-communication system powered by Linux
[Posted November 15, 2002 by ris]
The iSeePet is a remote pet-communication system powered by Linux, popular
in Japan. Here is an
article from
Japan Corporate News Network: "
Weighing 3kg, iSeePet is composed of a
web cam-equipped water tank and a food dish. Beginning November 29, owners
can log on to the Internet or mobile-phone service (www.iseepet.jp/), to
see animated or static images of their pet waiting for food. At meal times
the owner presses the Call button over the Web, and the remote-controlled
system plays a melody to catch the pet's attention."
According to AlphaOmega's pages (in Japanese) [1][2], this machine
(iSeePet) is powered by Linux.
