The Truth Wristband Kit
Do you remember the scene from Meet the Parents when Robert De Niro has Ben Stiller connected to a lie detector? In all honesty, I don’t see how you could not. After all, it was on the poster. I remember a certain line from that scene where De Niro tells Stiller: “You’d be quite surprised at how reliable [lie detectors] are”.
I always wondered how true that is, and if we really have perfected lie detecting technology. If so, why not just wear a lie detector on our wrist? This is the concept behind the Truth Wristband.
The Truth Wristband measures the user’s galvanic response to a question, and will go from blue to red which will reveal if the user is telling the truth.
Now, there is a question of who would use such a device. Obviously it has the potential to make interrogation much easier. I suppose someone could choose to wear these things. That would be quite a conversation piece, and a true test of your character.
Just like of the Truth Wrist Band as an application of Liar Liar, without the use of a birthday wish. Something tells me we might be seeing this device on Lie to Me, a drama on Fox that I highly recommend.
If you want to purchase the Truth Wristband Kit, feel free to head over to Maker shed and lay down $44.95.

No. No no no no. This is unacceptable. It’s only a short hop from this to it being a standard fitting on mobile phones, and *then* where does that leave the male species? mmmm?
Truth or fiction? Says: April 14, 2009 at 12:07 pm
[...] Published by Maria Mihale, on Apr 14 2009, in the categories: Uncategorized You must remember at least one scene from a movie when a character is to put to a test while being connected to a lie detector, because someone is trying to find the truth about a murder, a theft or any other similar event that involved a person that had nothing to do with it, but who had to prove his/her innocence. I have never been convinced that such a device is a genuine truth teller, maybe because I’ve never seen one in my life and I don’t quite know how it works. Maybe they are reliable. And if it’s so, then the Truth Wristband is also, because the device is based on the lie detecting technology. But what’s the Truth Wristband, you ask. Well, it’s a device designed to measure the galvanic response of the user and to change its color from blue to red, which will tell everyone else whether the wearer is telling the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth, so help him God… or not. “A wearable device that dynamically reflects your psycho-emotional response to the world, promoting internal states to be externalized and made into interactive forms of expression. Measuring the galvanic skin response (a marker of emotional arousal commonly used in lie detector tests), this device’s lights turn from blue to red as the wearer becomes aroused. Ask the wearer an evocative question and reveal his or her inner Truth”. If you want to know whether the stories told by your friends are truth or fiction, then you might want to buy this Truth Wristband for $44.95 from Maker SHED and put them to test.

The problem with wristband companies is that they require you to order like a thousand wristbands. But on wristbands.tk you can order any amount you want (including a writband for just you). I like to create wristbands for my friends to show off to people.

You just know that someone is going to figure out how to game this thing, especially for romantic situations. Perhaps employers will require you wear one at work. Now there’s an incentive to hack the thing!
