Pocket Dog

Awards entry

WALKING, BARKING INCENTIVE

We created three digital dogs that lived at the museum. Visitors could adopt one or all three of them and bring them home, using the Pocket Dog app. Naturally the Pocket Dogs are eager to take walks as often as they're allowed to.

The dogs are built and animated natively in both iOS and Android using Spine technology. This enables the user to customise the dogs freely using the accessories.

For walking the dog we use a GPS tracking system that both registered your position and also allows for interaction between you and other families via territories, poo and pee.

The pocket dogs and their families has taken 11.600 walks for a total of 16 172 km. That’s almost halfway around the world. Over 22 000 territories has been claimed by peeing and over 7000 by pooing.
