“…Extending VR applications to support humans in their understanding of animals has already had some success. Recent ACI work in this area includes the creation and deployment of VR videos that express the visual experiences of (i) turtles and tortoises, (ii) cats and dogs and (iii) frogs and geckos ( 161 ). The focus is on showcasing alternative color spectra and dynamic vision, and the research motivation is to provide opportunities for humans to learn about animal vision in order to gain appropriate design perspectives.…”

This paper seeks to expand traditional aesthetic dimensions of design beyond the limits of human capability in order to encompass other species' sensory modalities. To accomplish this, the idea of inclusivity is extended beyond human cultural and personal identities and needs, to embrace multi-species experiences of places, events and interactions in the world. This involves drawing together academic perspectives from ecology, neuroscience, anthropology, philosophy and interaction design, as well as exploring artistic perspectives and demonstrating how these different frames of reference can inspire and complement each other. This begins with a rationale for the existence of non-human aesthetics, followed by an overview of existing research into non-human aesthetic dimensions. Novel aesthetic categories are proposed and the challenge of how to include non-human aesthetic sensibility in design is discussed.
