Researchers from the University of Glasgow have teamed up with zookeepers at Blair Drummond Safari Park to explore whether interactive technology that lets zoo lemurs play sounds on demand could enrich their everyday lives. To test whether lemurs might choose to trigger sounds when given the chance, the researchers built what they called a 'LemurLounge' - a wooden box lined with infrared sensors that played one of a rotating selection of sounds when the animals entered.
