The recently released Kokoro Scanner (¡°mind scanner¡±), from Takara Tomy, is attracting attention with its simple yet clever concept.
The head-mounted toy supposedly monitors small heart rate changes and flags fibbers with a colored light system. A green light means you¡¯re in the clear; yellow means you¡¯re only telling half the truth; red means guilty as charged. The fact that user can¡¯t see what color the light is just adds to the fun.
Retailing at a mere ?2,700, this is clearly a poor man¡¯s lie detector. Does it work? We¡¯ve yet to test it, but our professional advice is, IT¡¯S A TOY, so Truth or Dare? Yes. Court of law? Uh, no.
The Kokoro Scanner goes on sale Oct. 30 and can be ordered on Takara Tomy website.
