“The device looks like a typical service dog vest that hugs the canine’s shoulders, and back, fastening under the dog’s belly. The FIDO model has a compact computer with a microprocessor that sits between the dog’s shoulder blades with several pull toys or buttons that hang off of the side.  A recent grant from Google Glass team to the Georgia Institute of Technology has provided researchers with the opportunity to explore ways in which these computerized glasses can link to the dog’s computer.  With the FIDO device, Jackson says that service dogs could more deftly warn owners about hazards in their paths – from wet cement to more life-threatening obstructions.”
