New DS Game Can Tell How You Feel

xsynergyx | August 28, 2007 | News | DS 
A newly released DS game in Japan focuses on telling you(the gamer) how you feel and what your emotions are. SEGA has created Heart Scan, a game that uses the DS' mic to tell you how you feel. It can also act as a sort of lie detector test, telling people what words they are nervous on saying. There is no word whether the game is going to ship overseas.
Its "sensibility technology" was codeveloped by Advanced Generation Interface Japan Inc. and SGI Japan, to monitor the moods of workers who answer phones and those making complaint calls, said AGI engineer Fumiaki Monma.

But developers warn against jumping to conclusions about someone's actions, such as infidelity, just because a voice sounds nervous.

    Sounds useful to assist me. I suck at telling how others feel, if I want to analyze people it would be handy to have my DS do it as to not waste my time.

      That doesn't sound right or maybe I just have a dirty mind. D=

      Anyways, the game looks cool, but I wouldn't spend my money on it.

    Meh, some more wasted technologies. We don't need machines telling us how we feel by scanning. Psh...waste of there time.

    Interesting. If it's released, I think I'd buy one. Sure, I dunno if it will sell well, but I'd like to see what else you can do with it.

    It sounds pointless. Why can't people figure out how they feel by themselves? The whole lie detector could be helpful, but nothing else. I wouldn't waste my money on this one.
