Investigating Augmented Reality Animals as Companions

ABSTRACT. Human-animal interaction has been studied in a variety of settings and for a range of populations, with some findings pointing towards its benefits for physical, mental and social human health. Technological advances opened up new opportunities for researchers to replicate human-animal interactions with robotic and graphical animals, and to investigate human-animal relationships for different applications such as mental health and education. Although graphical animals have been studied in the past in the physical health and education domains, most of the time, their realizations were bound to computer screens, limiting their full potential, especially in terms of companionship and the provision of support. In this work, we describe past research efforts investigating influences of human-animal interaction on mental health and different realization of such animals. We discuss the idea that augmented reality could offer potential for human-animal interaction in terms of mental and social health, and propose several aspects of augmented reality animals that warrant further research for such interactions.

Building Energy Code
“The Conquest of Energy” / José Chávez Morado / Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
Since about 2003 the National Fire Protection Association has invested in a consensus product that competes with other ANSI accredited standards developing organizations to secure a footprint in the energy conservation space: NFPA 900 Building Energy Code. Use of the word “code” in its title is significant. It means that NFPA 900 has been written to be incorporated by reference into federal, state and local energy conservation legislation.
From the NFPA 900 prospectus:
These regulations shall control the minimum energy-efficient requirements for the following:
(1) The design, construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, demolition, removal, inspection, issuance, and revocation of permits or licenses, installation of equipment related to energy conservation in all buildings and structures and parts thereof
(2) The rehabilitation and maintenance of construction related to energy efficiency in existing buildings
(3) The standards or requirements for materials to be used in connection therewith.
Sound familiar? At the very least, NFPA 900 fills out the 300+ consensus product offerings of the NFPA. A brief reading of NFPA 900 reveals that it references consensus products by the ICC, ASHRAE and other ANSI-accredited standards developers. The public input deadline passed in January 2020. The public input report will be posted no later than September 10th. A first reading, available to registered NFPA-access members, reveals little new content.
Public input on the 2025 revision is receivable until January 5, 2023.
We host a monthly teleconference that covers Energy-related consensus products. See our CALENDAR for the next online teleconference
