British inventors at Liverpool University, along with a charity organization Dogs Trust, have created a mobile virtual reality application that is designed to teach people how to handle a dog.

The app should teach children and adults to distinguish between signs of dog aggression and behave in such situations. In order to avoid the attack of an aggressively tuned dog, advise adhering to certain behavior, namely behaving calmly, not to make sharp movements and not to look at the animal in the eye.

The specialists who used the application were able to make sure that the body language and details are shown in the virtual environment were realistic and truthful in relation to the real behavior of the dogs.

For example, as soon as the user approaches the dog, the behavior and language of the body of the dog gradually change, he begins to show signs of aggression, including licking the lips, lowering the head and body, raising the front paw, groin and showing the teeth.
