A central theme of ACI research is establishing how user-centred design approaches and methods from HCI
In an ''ACI Manifesto'' (2011), Mancini defines one aim of ACI as understanding "the interaction between animals and computing technology within the contexts in which animals habitually live, are active, and socialise with members of the same or other species, including humans".<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal| vauthors = Mancini C |date=July 2011|title=Animal-computer Interaction: A Manifesto|journal=Interactions|volume=18|issue=4|pages=69–73|doi=10.1145/1978822.1978836|s2cid=13009441 |url=http://oro.open.ac.uk/28857/1/ACI-Manifesto-OpenResearchOnline.pdf}}</ref> She additionally proposes three core design goals for the field: enhancing animals' quality of life and wellbeing; supporting animals in the functions assigned to them by humans; and supporting human-animal relationships. Accordingly, some ACI research has given considerable attention to questions of animal ethics

Much ACI work focuses on technologies to support communication and relationships between animals and humans. Researchers have investigated digital technologies for dogs, including systems for remote communication with dogs left at home,<ref>{{Cite book| vauthors = Mankoff D, Dey A, Mankoff J, Mankoff K |date=2005|title=Supporting Interspecies Social Awareness: Using Peripheral Displays for Distributed Pack Awareness|journal=Proceedings of the 18th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology|series=UIST '05|___location=New York, NY, USA|publisher=ACM|pages=253–258|doi=10.1145/1095034.1095076|isbn=978-1595932716|s2cid=16620403}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=Rover@Home: Computer Mediated Remote Interaction Between Humans and Dogs (MSc Thesis)| vauthors = Resner BI |publisher=Massachusetts Institute of Technology|year=2001}}</ref> wearable interactive devices for them,<ref>{{Cite book| vauthors = Jackson MM, Zeagler C, Valentin G, Martin A, Martin V, Delawalla A, Blount W, Eiring S, Hollis R, Kshirsagar Y, Starner T | display-authors = 6 |date=2013|title=FIDO - Facilitating Interactions for Dogs with Occupations: Wearable Dog-activated Interfaces|journal=Proceedings of the 2013 International Symposium on Wearable Computers|series=ISWC '13|___location=New York, NY, USA|publisher=ACM|pages=81–88|doi=10.1145/2493988.2494334| hdl = 1853/52140 |isbn=9781450321273|s2cid=701037}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal| vauthors = Byrne C, Freil L, Starner T, Jackson MM |title=A method to evaluate haptic interfaces for working dogs|journal=International Journal of Human-Computer Studies|volume=98|pages=196–207|doi=10.1016/j.ijhcs.2016.04.004|year=2017|doi-access=free}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book| vauthors = Morrison A, Møller RH, Manresa-Yee C, Eshraghi N |date=2016|chapter=The Impact of Training Approaches on Experimental Setup and Design of Wearable Vibrotactiles for Hunting Dogs|journal=Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction|series=ACI '16|___location=New York, NY, USA|publisher=ACM|pages=4:1–4:10|doi=10.1145/2995257.2995391|isbn=9781450347587|s2cid=14261948}}</ref> and interfaces for working dogs
== Animal Internet Technologies ==
Recent work in ACI has focused on how internet connected technologies, such as [[Internet of things|Internet of Things]] (IoT), can support animals <ref>{{Cite journal |last=Hirskyj-Douglas |first=Ilyena |last2=Lucero |first2=Andrés |date=2019-05-02 |title=On the Internet, Nobody Knows You're a Dog...
