A kind of "social X-Ray" glasses is currently under development by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab.
Going on a date can be a
nightmare for the most of us, but now a pair of "social X-Ray" glasses promises to tell you exactly what the other person is thinking - and when you should stop talking.
The glasses have a built-in camera which monitors the other person's
facial expressions and matches them up with 24 known features which
convey emotions. It will then tell the individual via an earpiece and lights on the glasses what their date is thinking.
A red light means negative, amber means they are
moderately interested and green means your date is happy.
The researchers say that wearing them during a conversation with another person is like having an "extra sense".
So far the glasses are still a work in progress and have been
accurate just 64 percent of the time, a figure which is expected to improve with further tests.
据《每日邮报》7月12日报道:最近,麻省理工学院媒体实验室的研究人员正在开发一种"社交X光"眼镜。
对于大多数人来说约会就像噩梦一般,但现在只要拥有这样一副眼镜,人们就能准确无误的知道对方的心思,并适时保持沉默。
该眼镜中内置的摄像头可以检测到对方的面部表情,并能把这些表情与24种已知的可以传达情绪的表情进行对照,这样配戴眼镜人就可以通过耳机和眼镜上不同颜色的光点知道他们的约会对象正在想什么。
红光表示不喜欢,琥珀色表示态度一般,绿色则表示约会对象很愉快。
研究人员说,在交谈时配戴这样一幅眼镜就好比被赋予了"特异灵感"一样。
目前,这种眼镜还是个半成品,准确率仅为64%,这个数据有望通过实验进一步提高。
