got to do the dog story for the programme. now, spencer, what can you tell me about dogs noses? um, they are wet. that s true, but they are also unique. so you know how in some parts of the world dogs are microchipped in case someone loses a dog? well here is another idea chris fox has been to norway to find out about it. we ve always had a nose for a good pet tech story, so when i found a company developing phone based face id for dogs, i knewjust where to come to test it out. somewhere with lots of dogs. until now, the usual way we identify dogs was with microchipping, and in some countries it is even the law. but a company from south korea has developed an app which can identify dogs a little less invasively. all right then, yup! laughs.
it is even the law. but a company from south korea has developed an app which can identify dogs a little less invasively. all right then, yup! laughs on this phone i have got petnow, which is using the dog s nose print to identify the dog, just like you can use a fingerprint to identify a human, a dog s nose print is very similar. so let s get to know this dog. come here! it turns out it is actually quite hard to get huskies to sit still for any length of time, especially when you are trying to scan their nose. show me your nose! it takes the phone a few seconds to take pictures of the dog s nose and analyse them in the cloud. it also saves the pictures it takes to the phone s camera roll so you can enjoy them later. in the end, with a bit of help from professional
