Q Sensor Bracelet Detects Your Mood, Tweets About It
Welcome to the future of the mood ring.
Nowadays, most of us have a friend or acquaintance who just can't go about their days without posting several social media updates about their lives. Sure it might not take much time or effort to whip out a smartphone and come up with a quirky status update, but what about those who are too lazy to even put that much effort into their social network profiles.
In those cases, Affectiva's Q-Sensor may be the perfect social network companion. The Q-Sensor is an innovative bracelet that utilizes multiple sensors to measure galvanic skin responses, electrical conductance, temperature and overall movement. Much like a highly advanced lie detecting mood ring hybrid, the Q-Sensor is capable of detecting physiological and psychological arousal and using pre-installed software to determine the wearer's mood. The bracelet will also save mood data and tweet it if the wearer desires.
Of course this could be annoying in the wrong hands. Luckily for us, the Q-Sensor comes with a $2,000 price tag, the perfect deterrent for social network crazed addicts who will likely share more moods than the world cares to hear about. The price tag is probably due to the fact that Affectiva is marketing its product for research and medical use, though CEO Dan Berman is enthusiastic about its future in social networking and online gaming.

Better use in medical purpose like keeping track of patient's emotions or psychological state(s) and should have been stated for that reason [not for tweets]
Oh yes, lets make it even easier to post stupid things online given our moods.
this thingie is for really really really lazy people.
Eh?

Put it on someone who's asleep - their profile will be junked with all kinds of funny $h!t they're likely to be dreaming about xD
I would love to see the actual studies validating 1. the consistent response of these variables to the mood change and 2. the validity of this particular measuring device in quantifying those variables.
Until then, it's just a useless and baseless gadget. Anyone can claim they invented a device to measure pretty much anything.....
I can assure you, the rest of us are not.
I cant buy this ... my mood changes every 20 minutes. Plus Id have to sign up for twitter.
How would this be interesting to other people? Everyone who already knows me also knows I'm angry all the time.
