Artifact Overview
Sleepypod tested and refined its automobile pet carriers using some of the same facilities used to test child safety seats. Sleepypod created CLEO to simulate a cat riding in one of the company's carriers. The video camera mounted in CLEO's face allowed technicians to study the collision tests from a "cat's-eye" view.
