ABSTRACT
Given the importance of our non-human companions, do we not want to extend social media to our nonhuman co-species? If "human computer interfaces" should be designed for "Anyone. Anywhere." (the theme of CHI 2001), then why not for all species? Recent pioneering efforts have shown that computer mediated interactions between humans and dogs, cats, chickens, cows, hamsters, and other species are technically possible. These efforts excite the imagination and challenge our understanding the basic nature of computer mediated interaction.

Effects of humor in task-oriented human-computer interaction and computer-mediated communication: a direct test of SRCT theory
Little published research exists on whether humor is a positive or a negative in task-oriented human-computer interaction (HCI). The prevailing notion is that humor distracts users, wastes their time, and may cause them to take their work less ...
Pets and play: do they have fun?
IE '10: Proceedings of the 7th Australasian Conference on Interactive EntertainmentThis paper describes the current research done to in the area pet-pet owner interaction, and the possible area that could be looked into to improve the current human-centric interfaces to optimize the pets' enjoyment with the system and to make them ...
