Interview spy camera

Reasearchers at the MIT Media Lab are developing a wearable device that would read subtle movements of eyebrows, lips and other features, synthesize the information and tell the reader about the subject's emotional disposition. The device, indcluding a tiny camera, could be concealed in eyeglasses or a ballcap.

There are applications for people with autism, the dating scene and job interviews. You could immediately tell how your answers were being received by interviewers and adjust.
