PupPod
PupPod let’s you play with your pet even when you’re away from home. When dogs touch the PupPod Rocker smart toy at the correct time, they earn food rewards from a separate feeder, and the game gets harder as a dog gets smarter. You can control the game from your smartphone and stream video from the feeder to your phone using Kinesis Video Streams.
We built PupPod because we had the conviction that a platform for connected smart pet products was inevitable. Since we’re a startup, we operate with a lean team of engineers who want to build products that provide the best experience to our customers. With Kinesis Video Streams, we got a fully managed media streaming solution with easy to use embedded SDKs and playback APIs. KVS enabled our engineers to quickly build a video streaming solution and integrate it with the feeder and mobile application. Our customers, no matter where they are, can simply use our mobile app to watch video feed of their pets and play with them.
