Going on a date can be a nightmare for the best of us. But now a pair of 'social X-Ray' glasses promises to tell you exactly what the other person is thinking -- and when you should stop talking. The glasses have a built-in camera that monitors the other person's facial expressions and matches them up with 24 known features that convey emotions. It will then tell the individual via an earpiece and lights on the glasses what their date is thinking. In a traffic light-style system, a red light means negative, amber means they are moderately interested and green means your date is happy. The glasses are currently under development by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab. They say that wearing them during a conversation with another person is like having an 'extra sense' that they are bored or losing interest.
对大多数人来说，赶赴约会都有可能变成噩梦一场。不过现在，借助一副“社交X光”眼镜，你就可以准确无误地洞悉对方的想法，知道何时该停止交谈了。这种眼镜带有内置摄像机，可以捕捉到对方的面部表情，并将它们与表达情感的24种表情特征配对。而后，耳机中传来的声音和眼镜上的灯光提示会告诉你约会对象的心思。 灯光系统和交通信号灯相似，红灯意味着对方有点厌烦；黄灯代表有一定兴趣；绿灯则表明对方和你交谈甚欢。这款眼镜由麻省理工学院媒体实验室研制，目前仍处于研发阶段。研究人员称，戴上这款眼镜和人聊天，就如同有了“第六感”，可以知道交谈对象是不是厌烦了，或者失去兴趣了。
