Netizens who play games often say that you never know that the teammate at the other end of the computer is a dog. This may be true. It may be a dog...
Recently, a foreign handsome guy tried to teach his own dog to play "My World", and also killed one of the strongest BOSS.
The owner of the dog is Liam Thompson and the dog's name is Max. He launched the challenge about three weeks ago, which is to teach his own dog to play the game.
"My World" is a high-definition sandbox game with a large number of players, the global total sales exceeded 176 million, which is the first in sales history.
So such a game, how did the dog learn to play it?
In fact, whether it is construction or survival, the dog can not understand the game content, and the focus of the younger brother's teaching is to let the dog manipulate the character according to his instructions.
In order to facilitate the dog to play games, Liam Thompson needs a DIY keyboard.
Compared to the human fingers, the dog can use two buttons is not bad. So the keyboard is pulled down most of the buttons, leaving only the advance and attack:
Such a small button is naturally not easy to touch, so the little brother cut two cardboards and attached them to the two buttons, which is to make two huge button pedals:
Training begins when the tool is in place.
The younger brother's training method is instruction + demonstration + food temptation. For example, after shouting "walking", press the dog's paw to the red pedal, control the character to move, and then feed the snack.
Encourage and cycle training, slowly form a memory for the dog, let it remember the corresponding instructions:
However, such hands-on teaching is not a simple process, because dogs are always distracted, or they are only focused on eating, and attention is not at all in the game.
Sometimes Liam Thompson had to manually hold the dog's head and focus on the screen. As a result, the cat in the house passed by and passed the dog's curiosity:
At this time, the little brother wants to die.
Hard work pays off, the dog finally remembers two instructions, red is walking, purple is attack:
And even under the temptation of food, even killed a spider:
Also in the follow-up training, Liam Thompson controls the mouse direction and helps the dog tame a dog:
Well, it’s the dog playing the dog in the game, playing with the doll...
Not only that, but on Friday, Liam Thompson also released a video to kill the Shadow Dragon, one of the strongest BOSS in the game.
Of course, the process of trying was very difficult and died many times. Liam Thompson couldn't help but want to do it for the dog:
During the cat's trouble, the little brother had to manually ask it out of the room...
In the end, after many attempts, one person and one dog finally combined to kill BOSS:
Seeing this scene, I gradually began to doubt the identity of my teammates in the game...
The challenge of Liam Thompson and his own dog has also attracted the attention of tens of millions of netizens. Some friends are a little envious:
There are also netizens who spit this more like a dog trainer:
It is natural for dogs to learn so quickly because IQ is relatively high. There is a relatively common saying that the average intelligence of a dog is similar to that of a 2-year-old child.
Among them, dogs can learn hundreds of words on average, including signals, gestures, and they are also good at mathematics, with some episodes.
In short, they can remember the word "beer". Although they don't understand the specific meaning, they can remember and recognize the appearance of a particular "beer". Then, after you shout out the beer, you can make a beer for you. the behavior of:
Dogs can also learn sports games invented by humans such as surfing and skateboarding:
Some dogs will also imitate their master to play the piano:
Doing aerobics...
Of course, many times, humans will feel very embarrassed about this:
But what surprised me the most was that some dogs even learned to "drive"... I said the car.
I didn't believe it at first, until I saw this picture:
(training professional training guidance, no imitation)
I saw the dog steadily controlling the steering wheel, driving a Mini Cooper at a speed forward, turning the steering wheel as if it were a driver:
The stop is also very stable:
And there are three dogs that will drive, and the practice time is only 8 weeks:
I have been studying for a year, and I can still recall the words that the coach trained me: give the dog a cake, the dog is better than you...
This happened about 8 years ago. The organization training dog learning was driven by an anti-animal abuse association in New Zealand. What they wanted to prove was that the dogs that were rescued would not be worse than ordinary dogs.
The reason why this idea is because sometimes people think that abandoned dogs are not as good as other dogs, and the association believes that these abandoned dogs can be good pets as long as they have reasonable training.
So the local dog trainer picked three dogs from the shelter and started practicing.
However, it is not easy to let the dog learn to drive. After all, the meaning of many driving operations is that the dog can't understand it. What is important is how to step on the throttle and brake of the dog's short legs.
Therefore, the training team chose to start from the "making a car" and prepare to carry out a DIY transformation of the cab according to the dog's body.
First, the start button is placed on the right hand side of the car, and the dog's claw can be used as soon as it is lifted:
With the lever, the throttle and brake are extended to the left and right of the steering wheel, and it is easier to touch:
In order to facilitate the use of the dog, the steering wheel is equipped with several pedals, which can be pulled when it is convenient to turn:
Such a dog-specific Mini Cooper is almost the same:
However, with the car, you can't train directly. Instead, you must first train the commander on the "simulated car." After all, it is still dangerous to rush.
The team used a wooden board, seat, and steering wheel to create a simple cab for training the dog:
It’s like this when a dog sits up. It’s very interesting:
The training method also uses the reward mechanism to let the dog remember the instructions and supporting actions, such as driving, turning, parking, etc. Finally, the dog trainer orders the three dogs to complete the driving action:
The whole set of actions counts almost 10 passwords. Each password needs to be trained separately and then placed in a sequence. The process is rather cumbersome:
After mastering the password, the dogs are also required to adapt to the movement of the car, that is, the trainer will drive the dog while driving, while pulling it:
In the process, slowly adapt it to the steering wheel, it will turn, press the brake will stop, etc.
Watching them hang up, turn and turn, inexplicable and joyful:
It turns out that these three dogs, with their intelligence and effective training, complete this learning and ultimately succeed in getting on the road.
Of course, even if you have been trained, it is impossible for the dog to complete the driving independently, so the trainer needs to be guided while driving.
With the cooperation of both sides, there is a scene from the previous article. When the dog's claws start, and the accelerator pedals, the car begins to slowly advance:
The dogs are driving very well:
The steering wheel is also in place. Under the command of the dog trainer, the steering wheel will be played after the corner:
The following is the last one, but it is good to stop in time:
What’s fun is that they can also drive passengers and pull a reporter who is scared, and it’s just fine....
However, it is not always possible to have an old driver's standard every time. Occasionally, the car will be opened in the lawn, and the dog trainer will not be able to turn it around:
In fact, whether driving or playing games, dogs can't understand the true meaning of all actions. As human friends and pets, they are only happy to get the rewards of their masters, and use their intelligence to follow the instructions to accompany humans.
But even then I have already felt the cleverness of the dogs, but there is a problem, you.... Why not try the Huskies:
