A lie detector test that reveals the truth of the statements by the movement of the retina of the eyes

Image via Wikipedia

Investigadores University of Utah, USA, are developing a lie detector test that reveals the truth of the statements by the movement of the retina of the eyes.
The technology used is the eye tracking, a pioneer in the field, and appears as an alternative to traditional polygraph used to detect lies.
Instead, he uses eye movement to detect lies, and instead of measuring the emotional reaction of a person, the technology of eye tracking measures the person's cognitive reaction.
To complete the test, researchers recorded the number of measurements before the true and false responses on a computer. The measures include pupil dilation, the response time, time reading and rereading, and errors.
The researchers concluded that the lie that people have more work than to tell the truth, for a dishonest person has dilated pupils and takes longer to read and answer questions.
The reactions are measured in minutes.
"The method of tracking the eye to detect lies has great potential," said Gerald Sanders, one of the researchers of the project.
"It's a national security issue for our government agencies should have the best and most advanced methods for distinguishing truth from fiction, and we believe we are addressing this need for special licensing of research conducted at the University of Utah," adds.

Most Stupid Iphone APP : Darts from the iPhone to the iPad

This is probably the coolest little connection to the IOS I have seen. Dartboard Ipad KL is a youth (for U.S. $ 3.99), which serves as a virtual map arrow that caused by a program called KL Darts ... for the iPhone. So the idea is that you buy the app ipad and put it on the wall, and then the free use of Bluetooth app iPhone and connect the two. Once the installation is complete, the position you hold and shake the iPhone in the country determine where the dart board IPAD.
What a strange concept. Unfortunately, this is probably a better idea of what is really a game, the program is iPhone OS 4, you must have both devices, and opinions about the app Ipad say it does not really work very well. IPAD is impossible to know "where" the iPhone, so you do not even need the screen to face the arrows to shoot well.
However, I think we will see more interaction cross device like this, Chopper 2 is a game that will soon be released, and you can use your iPhone as a controller for the version of IPAD. I think there are many opportunities for developers who want to play.

Assassin's Creed as big as GTA

Image via Wikipedia

The commercial and critical success of Grand Theft Auto, it is desirable for many software houses, and publishers of this little world. Including, of course Ubisoft.
One of the biggest success stories in the franchise is certainly Ubisoft Assassin's Creed, and according to Murray Pannell, head of marketing at Ubisoft UK, speaking to Eurogamer, the series could be as big as Grand Theft Auto.
Pannell said when asked whether the series will be as great as GTA, "To be honest, I do not know if we got there already. But I see no reason not to get there in the near future. It's all a matter of longevity and create products decent, well marketed, and get a name. "
Murray Pannell adds, "I think with the success of Assassin's two now have an opportunity to put us as one of the big blockbusters AAA. We are as big as Grand Theft Auto and Halo and things of that nature? Perhaps we are not. But I think we are now prepared exclusively as a property, as a franchise, and indeed ourselves as a must-have game when we launch a game of Assassin's Creed franchise. "
This year we have a new game franchise, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, but according to Ubisoft, there will be no Assassin's Creed in 2011, so the series can rest.
