App for the Sync smart dog harness

I wanted to show this experimental design project (what I've been working on for the past year), for the JK9. Wearable technology for dogs, development of a smart harness pursuit of creating a thrilling experience in urban dog walking - how are we going to walk the cities in the future? What will dog harnesses be capable of?

During the smart harness project our aim was to develop a next-gen dog harness that utilises the potentials of cutting edge material, hardware and software technologies to make city living with dogs safer and more comfortable: Built-in geolocation to make sure you find your dog if it gets lost; Fully automated LED lighting so you only have to pay attention to your walk; Built-in movement sensors that monitor if the quantity and quality of your dog's activity is in the healthy range.

The App of the smart harness allows you to manage the most important geolocation, lighting and lifestyle functions.

The automatic LED lights switches on when it's getting dark. The farther your dog is, the stronger the light gets.

Emergency assistant: your phone (and watch) will alert you, if your dog moves too far away in the park or leaves her spot by the store you popped into.

Route logging: you can browse your previous routes or check where your dog is going when someone else is walking her.
