Technology for dogs

In my building at the OU they are setting up this animal computer interaction lab. It looks interesting, the idea being I guess that with the right interfaces we can get dogs to do a lot more than lead people. I don't think it would work for either of my dogs though: one would raise a half interested eyebrow and then resume sleeping, the other would jump up at it, wrestle something away, bring it to you, sprint around for 10 minutes, then sleep.
