User Centred design Methods in Animal Centred Design: A systematic review

Animals play a critical and nuanced part in our lives today. Animal Centred Design (ACI) is heavily influenced by the discipline of human-computer interaction (HCI). The field of ACI focuses on investigating the interactive technologies affected by individual animals and how/what technologies could be developed to improve animals’ welfare, support their activities, and foster positive interspecies relationships. The purpose of this research is to review and understand the use of the User-Centred Design (UCD) to develop a framework for the best practices of using the UCD methods in ACD research. The research data will be generated through a systematic literature review to find the most common UCD methods used on ACI. The review summarised the results of lessons, experiences, and contradictory issues, and how to better cooperate to solve these problems in future research. This research will help us to understand the best way to design human-animal interactive technologies with a focus on mobile technology.
