Lie detector glasses tell you if someone is telling the truth

Lie detector glasses tell you if someone is telling the truth

A new lie detection technology promises remarkable benefits in determining whether people are telling you the truth IN REAL TIME. The technology is already being tested in a wide variety of applications such as anti-terrorism, law enforcement, and insurance claim assessment and has even been built into a pair of glasses with internal LED lights which will run a real-time analysis of conversations of the wearer, reporting on the veracity of the person the wearer is speaking to with a claimed accuracy of better than 95%.

The Israeli-developed technology is being licensed to companies for a wide array of applications such as anti-terrorism, law enforcement, insurance and workers compensation claim assessment and is already available as a downloadable PC program which can analyse live and telephone conversations.

The Israeli technology is being licensed in America through a company with a single letter name: V

V is developing multiple applications using the technology and is licensing to companies for a wide array of purposes such as anti-terrorism, law enforcement, insurance and workers compensation claim assessment. The technology is already available as a downloadable PC program (http://www.v-entertainment.com/) which can analyse live and telephone conversations and check the veracity of one's significant other when speaking of love and other topics often associated with variations on the truth.

More accurate than a polygraph

The technology of voice analysis has been developed over the last 30 years mainly to improve methods of investigation. In it's infancy, the goal of voice stress analysis was to develop a non-invasive, flexible "lie-detector" that could produce results comparable to that of the poly-graph. Voice stress analysis machines were the product of this early research. Unfortunately, the results of these initial efforts did not advance to the level of polygraph techniques.

Accuracy rates of voice stress analysis, while better than 50%, were not reaching the 70%-80% range that a polygraph can produce. LVA, one of the applications which uses the technology, uses up to 8,000 mathematical algorithms to determine if a person is telling the truth.

LVA tracks and analyses the mechanics of vocal patterns to identify emotional states such as excitement, stress, uncertainty and deception. The software can run on variety of computer systems, including laptops for portable use wherever security is a concern.
