UX for Cats and Dogs! by Joel Potischman

David Burge described the internet as a worldwide cat picture distribution system. But historically humans have had to do all the work of taking those pictures ahead of time! I wanted to empower my three cats and one dog to take their own pictures and send them to me, but how do you design for cats and dogs?

I will describe how I built a home photo booth from a Raspberry Pi, various electronic components, the Twilio API, and a ton of cat treats to allow my pets to send me selfies.

In a direct challenge to the demo gods, this talk will end with an attempt at a live text exchange with my pets from the stage!
