Abstract

Animal-Computer Interaction (ACI)’s founding elements are discussed in relation to its overarching discipline Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Its basic dimensions are identified: agent, computing machinery, and interaction, and their levels of processing: perceptual, cognitive, and affective. Subsequently, three seminal studies are discussed, the ACI community should be become acquainted with. Next, three guidelines are defined that could help ACI to gain further maturity. We close with a brief conclusion.
