Wow, reading someone's heart rate from a video. Imagine that plugged into Google Glass. Overlay someone's heart rate next to their face while you're talking to

- DannoHung 14y agoHow about amplifying micro-motor motions in the eyes or something like that?
- jtchang 14y agoExcuse me while I book a trip to Vegas.
- reginaldo 14y agoI was thinking about the implications of using this technique to analyze e.g. political speeches and try to catch people lying on the act. Your application (winning on card games) seems very interesting too.
- tsumnia 14y agoCoincidentally so was I! With a person's microgestures amplified, you'd at least notice inherent changes in a person's physical behavior. Now, we need to remember that lying isn't as simple as "he's looking down and to the right" because that can just be a personality trait of the person. With public figures, however, if you collect enough video of various activities, you could determine a baseline physical demeanor. Then, if the figure in question radically steps out of that baseline, you can send off red flags. Ideally, this could be used to analyze facial dynamics to help determine focus, expression (for example, the SOEmote video that was recently posted), mood (though we now get back into personality traits), or, as the video showed, subtle changes in the physical body.
- taliesinb 14y agoI was under the impression that micro-expressions (I assume you're referring to them) were very short in duration rather than in magnitude. So this would be the wrong kind of amplification.
- nl 14y agomicro-expressions .. were very short in duration rather than in magnitude. So this would be the wrong kind of amplification This is exactly the kind of amplification you need. Something like the movement caused by mirror of an SLR camera (at the end of their demo) is very very short in duration, but they amplify the magnitude AND slow the video to allow it to be visible.
- taliesinb 14y agoNo, my point is that micro-expressions don't need to be amplified, because they are perfectly large in magnitude, just very short. So all you need is a freeze-frame.
- tsumnia 14y agoSome amplification is still needed in my opinion, but you are correct. Amplifying the video of a high speed camera should aid in the some of the expression detection. Instead of something like eye movement, think something more subtle, like a person's brow being furrowed.
- sixQuarks 14y agoIt seems like this technology can be used on historical videos. It'd be interesting to see the heart rates from past speeches where we know they lied, to see if there is a good correlation.
- aperrien 14y agoWhat about using this on a crowd of people? You could get an idea of what impact your particular statements are having on them. It could be interesting to look over old films of riots to see how they may have been instigated...
- scotty79 14y ago> analyze e.g. political speeches and try to catch people lying on the act. Politicians in front of cameras are too heavily covered in face powder for their real color to shine through.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoAnd if that doesn't work, special makeup will be invented that does do the job. Of course, use of those techniques will themselves come to indicate guilt...
- eric-hu 14y agoKind of like paranoid internet users setting up TOR implies their guilt as well. I wouldn't make assumptions. There's a valid point in wanting to defend your thoughts and intentions.

- kmfrk 14y agoThe technology to do that face to face might already exist: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2727960 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2727960. The technology is probably not mature enough for video analysis, though.
- crumblan 14y ago> analyze e.g. political speeches and try to catch people lying on the act Does it work on cold-blooded animals too?
- speleding 14y agoI see a bigger problem: to calibrate the data you would first need to find a politician who is not lying during a speech. Good luck with that ;-)
- jorgem 14y agoSomething tells me Casinos aren't going to let you wear Google glass... :)
- jahmed 14y agoJust like you aren't allowed to keep your phone on the table.
- aptwebapps 14y agoImagine when everyone is an amateur polygraphist ... some conversations are going to become unnecessarily fraught.
- taliesinb 14y agoThe use I thought of was figuring out when your date was trying to perk up the courage to kiss you. And personally, I don't think any of the "modern-day lies" that people tell would cause any kind of increase in heart rate.
- aw3c2 14y agoand then it turns out your date was extremely uncomfortable and stressed out, trying to think of ways to get away. it is not as simple as you wish. and that is good!
