Lie Detector Glasses Coming Soon
Zelphyr writes "The EE Times is reporting on a product soon to be released by an Israeli company that allows the wearer of special glasses to tell whether the person they are talking to is telling a lie. Not only that, they can tell you whether someone loves you! Apparently a PC version of the 'love detector' is in the works as well. Think my Windows box will be upset when it knows how much I hate it?"
V Entertainment claims the love detector has demonstrated 96 percent accuracy.
Oh, good. I'm glad that they have tested this empirically and have hard numbers for us.The bigotry of the nonbeliever is for me nearly as funny as the bigotry of the believer. - Albert Einstein
Better keeps this away from any large group of politicians... it just might explode.
The grass is only greener, if you don't take care of your own lawn.
... but where are the X-Ray glasses promised to us in the throngs of comic books of our youth? Hmmm?
It will end up being a 'just wanna be friends' detector.

These love detection glasses are broken, I have never seen anything. I think I will stick to ye olde love tester
Do you seriously think your Windows box cares if you love it or not? If it did, it'd be treating you much better.

I was going to make a joke about these glasses telling me that the Israeli CEO was lying about the usefulness of his product, but then I realized I'd fallen into a logic paradox. : (

Darl McBride has protested against the possibility of jurors wearing lie-detection glasses.
How about the "open to one night stand" detector.
I bet they are not compatible with beer goggles.
If these work with at least 90% "accuracy" I say our elected politicians ban these, citing "national security!"
Our products were originally for law enforcement use -- we get all our technology from Nemesys-co...
Nemesys-co? What, are they a division of the E-Ville Group or something?

You wouldn't believe how often women lie when you ask them "Are you carrying pepper spray?"
Trolling is a art,
I know, that's not a problem for most slashdotters, but..
Do I look fat in this?
Did you like the meal I made?

A certain percentage of the population lies so comfortably and so easily that this sort of thing is useless for catching them in a lie. Guess which percentage of the population politicians are in?
Is it fascism yet?
96% accurate huh? Well, I'll just point my lie detector glasses at your lie detector glasses and see if your glasses are really telling the truth.
And all this coming from V-Entertainment. Well entertainment is right...they probably just tested these things against 100 SCO employees and asked them if they had any evidence. The 4 that were marked inaccurate really did have evidence but to the contrary.
"Look Lois, the two symbols of the Republican Party: an elephant, and a fat white guy who is threatened by change."
The law enforcement version achieved about 70 percent accuracy in laboratory trials, according to V Entertainment, and better than 90 percent accuracy against real criminal subjects at a beta test site at the U.S. Air Force's Rome Laboratories.
So ... more than 8000 algorithms. And it gets even better results in a field trial than it does in the laboratory. They didn't mention its secret, unbreakable encryption with the 10^6 bit key -- just slipped their mind, I suppose.
And, of course, this technology is so super-duper that they won't sell it to the government, but will market it to gulli^H^H^H^H^H ordinary consumers.
Apparently the market for lunar green cheese flavored with snake oil is thriving (see: P.T. Barnum's Law of Applied Economics).
I think they need to have these guys make glasses which detect if the person you are looking at has a bomb strapped to his waist.
Manipulate the moderator system! Mod someone as "overrated" today.
Interrigator: Checks out sir, you're ok sir, you're free to go. Moe: Good, cause I got a hot date tonight. (Lie detector buzz) Moe: Odd date (Lie detector buzz) Moe: Dinner with friend (Lie detector buzz) Moe: Dinner alone (Lie detector buzz) Moe: Watching TV alone (Lie detector buzz) Moe: All right! I'm gonna sit at home and ogle the ladies in the Victoria Secret catalog! (Lie detector buzz) Moe: Sears catalog (Lie detector ding) Moe: Would you unhook this already, please?! I don't deserve this kind of sappy treatment! (Lie detector buzz)

It's ok if the lie detector is only 90% accurate; racial profiling can fill in the gaps.
