SYSTEM ALLOWING USERS TO INTERACT WITH ANIMALS, BOTH REAL AND SIMULATED

The present disclosure provides for methods and systems of remote interaction. Preferably, one remotely interacts with a non-human animal. The animal is preferably housed in a rescue or adoption type shelter, but may be present in any particular location. A video feed allows individuals to view and subsequently interact with the animals via an electronic device and communications network. For example, a user may have the option to feed the animal via an interactive unit located at the shelter. The user may also be able to interact with the animal remotely via commands or with the assistance of the shelter staff or other individuals at the remote location. In some instances, sounds may be transmitted from either location to the other. These interactions are achieved using an electronic device preferably running a web or mobile application permitting access to the system through a communications network.
