“…A second important aspect of the space plan was the visual decoration which involved a balancing act between being aesthetically pleasing to humans (especially when seen through a camera), suitable for the cats, and also convenient for the vision system (including being able to discriminate the distinct visual markings of individual animals). Future opportunities might build on the experience of the Moxi robot and the idea of 'robot readable worlds' [22] by deploying visual markers that could be read by the robot while utilising aesthetically pleasing graphic designs [7,20].…”

We reflect on the design of a multispecies world centred around a bespoke enclosure in which three cats and a robot arm coexist for six hours a day during a twelve-day installation as part of an artist-led project. In this paper, we present the project's design process, encompassing various interconnected components, including the cats, the robot and its autonomous systems, the custom end-effectors and robot attachments, the diverse roles of the humans-in-the-loop, and the custom-designed enclosure. Subsequently, we provide a detailed account of key moments during the deployment and discuss the design implications for future multispecies systems. Specifically, we argue that designing the technology and its interactions is not sufficient, but that it is equally important to consider the design of the 'world' in which the technology operates. Finally, we highlight the necessity of human involvement in areas such as breakdown recovery, animal welfare, and their role as audience.

“…Researchers have investigated two primary approaches to make markers less obtrusive: making visible tags more aesthetic [2,11,23,25], embedding tags inside the object [6,20,34], or having tags that are invisible to the human eye on the surface of the object [5,21].…”

“…ReacTIVision [2] creates fiducial markers that look like amoeba to create an organic look. Seedmarkers [11] are decorative markers manufactured to fit onto an object's desired surface, such as one of the plates of a laser-cut box.…”

“…We found that even with a small number of filter combinations, we can have sufficient detection results comparable to existing QR code detection algorithms. For instance, three different filter combinations (Table 3) achieve an accuracy up to 79.03% (existing QR code readers achieve <57% for blurred tags 11 ). It is possible to further…”

“…In general, using paper markers can represent an effective, fast prototype tool for short-term solutions. However, the manufacturing process complexity is increased for colored paper-based markers with standard or special inks [26]. This work developed a hardware-based marker to reduce paper-based drawbacks for long-term use.…”

<p class="western" style="orphans: 0; widows: 0; margin-top: 0.08in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="justify">This work deals with the integration of low-cost electronic devices that were integrated into constructing a dynamic maker that allows the triggering of augmented reality events. A hybrid structure was developed to combine the most favorable aspects of fiducial markers and dynamic markers. The lighting infrared patterns are effectively modifiable through the programming of an ESP8266 microcontroller card. To test the system, an infrared lighting pattern generated was detected through a digital camera, and an augmented reality application was implemented using a web page for displaying text. Electronic shift registers were used for the temporal storage of the infrared illumination pattern. The infrared illumination marker can’t be detected by human eyes, but it is easily recognized due to the inner black square shape embedded into a white wooden structure.</p>
