Love Detector

Just in time for Valentine’s Day–the Love Detector from V Entertainment . According to today’s New York Times, this product uses a simplified version of voice analysis technology developed by V:
The security version applies 8,000 algorithms to 129 parameters of a speaking voice, assessing, among other things, levels of emotion, embarrassment and concentration as well as whether what is said reflects certainty, uncertainty or outright lies.

The personal version…concentrates on just five of those 129 parameters. Like layered analysis, it assesses the speaker’s levels of anticipation, concentration, embarrassment and excitement. Unlike layered analysis, it does not judge the veracity of the speaker, but it does assess levels of love.
But the best part is the interface–it’s a daisy that “depicts the love level as a flower that progresses from a wilting, bare stem to an upright bloom with as many as five petals.” You can see samples of the flower on V Entertainment’s product page.
PS According to its website, V Entertainment is developing an all-purpose truth verification software. “For the man who has everything…but the truth.”
