PupDar A more social experience for NYC
Dogs and their walkers.

PupDar is a social networking tool for dogs and
their walkers. It helps by sending a message to
dog/owner pairs in the vicinity with PupDar
capabilities. Using emote-icons, the system
relays whether the owners should allow the dogs
to interact with each other.

People walking their dogs in New York are
extremely wary of other dogs.

• Why?
• Fear of attack
• Walker is in a hurry
• Fear of leash entanglement

Because people aren't communicating why they
will not let their dog interact, the dogs don't
ever have a chance to socialize with other dogs.
