Morin France MTX-K9 Multimodal Communication Harness Instructions
The MTX-K9 harness is an innovative communication device based on vibration transmission. Designed for use by dog-handlers, but also in the fields of guide dogs, security and rescue, it enables an intuitive language with the dog, guiding it at a distance and in complete discretion
Voiceless communication
Vibration modules on the back, sides, chest, and collar create a rich and varied tactile language, by stimulating different areas or displaying rhythms or vibratory movements. The elongated shape of the vibrators ensures a clear tactile feel, transmitting the vibration through the coat to the skin.
The vibratory sequences are triggered remotely by the dog handler, with Bluetooth or radio communication and a specific application on a smartphone or tablet.
Multimodal communication
Tactile communication can also be enhanced by the transmission of recorded voice commands through two loudspeakers located on the front of the harness. This dual mode of communication enhances the dog’s understanding of the commands and facilitates learning.
Remote tracking
The harness is also embedded with a GPS and a motion sensor to track the dog’s
location, orientation and posture, without direct eye contact. This
information can be retrieved by the owner on the application. It can also be
transmitted in a vibratory manner on an MTX-Belt, in order to follow the dog’s
movements while keeping an eye on the environment.
