Are you a dog person, or a cat person? Either way, there's a new gadget in the works that lets you feed your pet when you're not home, and it fights pet obesity, too, which is apparently just as much of a problem as human obesity. PintoFeed connects with your home wifi, and then, using a mobile app, you can dispense li'l Skippy's food from anywhere. or automate the feeding schedule. The app can notify you once your pet has eaten. And PintoFeed monitors your pet's food intake and shows you that data on the app, so when you get home, if your dog tries to fake you out with that "I'm hungry" face, you can show himi the app and say, "come on, you already ate!" (What? You don't talk to your dog like that?)
They have a PintoFeed prototype right now and they're trying to raise funding for production. Here's the video that explains it:
