The iPhone can be used as a video camera to keep an eye on pets when they are alone in the house. It will be possible thanks to the Animal Body Pose programming interface included in the news for programmers that Apple is presenting at its Developer Conference (WWDC 2023) underway to date in Cupertino .
The interface - explains the site The Verge - is able to identify and track animals with the phone's camera. It recognizes them in 25 points, from ears to tail, and identifies the pose, that is, if the pet is sitting, standing or asking for food. Developers who want to take advantage of this system will be able to create apps that automatically track subjects in live videos on a 360-degree field of view, to create and launch their own iPhone-powered pet cams.
