London: Researchers have recently developed a new form of lie-detector all-body suit test, which performed with the success rate of over 70% and could be used around the world within a decade.
Rather than relying on facial tics, talking too much or waving of arms, all seen as tell-tale signs of lying, the new method can help police force monitor full-body motions of people to provide an indicator of signs of guilty feelings, reportedly.
The basic premise is that liars fidget more and so the use of an all-body motion suit, the kind used in films to create computer-generated characters, will pick this up. The suit contains 17 sensors that register movement up to 120 times per second in three dimensions for 23 joints.
The uses of all-body suits are expensive, they cost about 30,000 pounds and can be uncomfortable, and Ross Anderson and his colleagues are now looking at low-cost alternatives. These include using motion-sensing technology from computer games, such as the Kinect devices developed by Microsoft for the Xbox console.Â
