The Smart Laser Toy for Cats is an automatic cat toy that will display a laser pattern for cats to interact
with. The device operates by using a passive infrared motion sensor to detect a moving object, once a moving
object is detecting a color detection system will determine if it is a cat or other pet/item, if the cat is determined
to be present, a laser with a randomized scanning pattern will turn on for 10 to 15 minutes. While the device
automatically turns on, it can also be controlled through a mobile application to see play analytics and turn the
device on or off.
This device is useful for those who have hand mobility restrictions or do not have enough time to play
with their cat. Unlike current market toys, the Smart Laser Toy for Cats is motion sensored, therefore the pet
owner does not need to be present for it to work and has a mobile application that enables the pet owner to see
how much their cat is playing.
