Description: Ever seen that one holoflick, "Lie To Me"? The premise of the show involves a protagonist detective who catches the truth out of criminals by reading their body language and reactions to figure out what they're thinking; whether or not they're telling the truth. At Crescentia, we want to provide you with that same opportunity.
The D.A.M.U. (Diplomacy Assistance Monitor Unit) is an upgrade that can only be used in conjunction with a brain implant. This data upgrade package comes equipped to provide the user with the knowledge of many different types of body language and reaction movements across almost all known sentient species. When the user uses the software and spots their target, the package utilizes the brain implant's built-in recognition software to take note. Upon taking in the target's actions, be it sweating indoors or shifting their eyes, to name a couple, a list of possible outcomes will become available for the user to peruse through.
The outcomes they may receive include, but are not limited to, Nervous, Thinking, Angry, Sad, Depressed, Lie, Truth, etc. Product Testing proudly surpassed the success parameters of 95%. As such, like any lie detector, there is bound to be a loophole. An experienced liar could fool the system. The listed outcomes are possibilities, not hard facts. A projected outcome, such as sweating indoors, could lead to a wrong assumption, since the projection software is not aware of the temperature in the room. For this example, the data package assumes sweating indoors is occurring because of nervousness. However, it could very well be that the room is simply not air conditioned. As such, the user will still need to come to his/her/it's own logical conclusion through their own accord. Projected outcomes are stored sequentially throughout the day in data memory, so it will help lead to memory storage problems in your brain implant's data bank, leading to a slight increase in memory wipe and/or transfer frequency.
Strengths:
- Comprehensive source of body language/reading information. Helps you to "read" people and gain additional social information on targets.
Weaknesses:
- Not 100% guaranteed to work.
- Outlying variables can throw readings off.
- General descriptive words are used instead of fully comprehensive outcomes.
