A new AI-powered pet collar, dubbed the "PetPhone" by GlocalMe, has launched for $89.99, sparking widespread online discussion and comparisons to the fictional translation collar from Pixar's "Up." While it cannot enable actual dog-to-human conversation, the device utilizes AI sensors to detect behaviors like anxiety and excessive barking, triggering voice calls to the owner's phone. Beyond this attention-grabbing feature, the collar offers programmed soothing music, eating/napping alarms, and learns a pet's normal activity over six weeks to send health reminders for reduced movement. It also includes GPS tracking, a virtual fence, and a subscription-based app, with the cheapest plans costing around $5 per month.
