Impressive stuff!

I wonder how many years before this technology is actually used in the mainstream. I have read reports like this for years...

What would they use it for? Would it hold up in court or anything like that?

I'm guessing it would be more of a marketing gimmick initially - you could image the PR frenzy it would whip up! However, after that perhaps governments would look into it which is a scary thought!

It would create a lot of PR and links. Just imagine how many threads have already been created about the same topic (with links back). I would like to see it in action though.

Wow, that is freaky. We are now just a few steps away from the computers taking over! If they can read our expressions, they will eventually discover we sometimes get angry at them, and will want to retaliate.

So, is this like when can work the machine using just our mind?

That would be cool!

I don't believe computers can do anything more than what we humans can do. Computers will never be able to fight back, or any Matrix-like-stuff.

LOL LOL LOL.
