TWO SIDES OF ONE LITTLE HELLO

Your familiar face.
Their favorite place.

You see your dog. Your dog’s device shows you, with optional display adjustments controlled from your side.

A working private prototype. Daily calling is connected. Mac/iPhone audio, video, and a full ten-minute call still need physical-device verification.

THE FIRST CALL

A few small steps to a little hello.

  1. 01

    Open Puppy Dog Eyes on your Mac

    A well-lit face and a quiet room are a good start.

  2. 02

    Open a private link on the second device

    Send the invitation to the phone or tablet beside your dog. Both devices need access to the private prototype.

  3. 03

    Make a comfortable dog-side spot

    Use a stable surface, keep cords out of reach, and have someone stay nearby.

  4. 04

    Try a short hello in each view

    The guided beta assigns a random order for Normal Video, Big Face Mode, and See-Me Mode.

  5. 05

    Tell us what you noticed

    A look, an approach, or no response. Simple observations are more useful than guessing.

PRIVATE CALLING PROTOTYPE

Ready for a little hello?

Use two devices, keep both screens open, and approve the joining device before either camera is shared.

The guided Dog Screen Test applies each mode automatically: original picture, 1.5× framing, and the same framing with blue/yellow treatment. Its randomized order stays fixed for your dog.

ONE FACE. A FEW WAYS TO SEE IT.

Dog-side display modes.

The original picture is our comparison baseline. Each adjustment is a testable idea, not a promise that your dog will recognize you.

Available

Normal Video

Your original video and voice. A useful baseline for every test.

Available through framing

Big Face Mode

Bring your head and shoulders closer. Use the picture-framing control and a comfortable viewing distance.

Experimental

See-Me Mode

An optional blue/yellow treatment on the incoming caller video. You can adjust its intensity or switch it off.

THE MOST IMPORTANT SETTING: COMFORT

Make room for your dog to be a dog.

Keep cords out of reach.
Use a stable surface.
Keep calls short.
Let your dog come and go.
Stop if your dog seems stressed.

Someone should stay beside your dog. This beta is not an unattended monitor or a treatment for separation anxiety.

YOUR DOG. YOUR OBSERVATIONS.

Help shape the next hello.

Three short tests. A few simple questions. A better understanding of what works for your dog.
