Eye Scanning Lie Detector in Development

Bladerunner Style Lie Detector To Be Developed » Spy Review

Science fiction and movies have often been forerunners of technological innovations which have actually been realised in the future. Whether it was man’s journey to the moon or innovations in Star Trek like the communicator or others – they found a place in reality after some time.

As far as detection techniques are concerned we have come a long way from fingerprints, polygraphs and DNA analysis – all are commonplace and used to catch criminals. But what if criminals could be caught before a crime was committed? That does seem futuristic, but the seeds of this are already in place.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has invited companies to bid for research on a project which can scan eyes and be able to tell if the person has any criminal intentions.
