NEW YORK-Worried that your mechanic is giving you the runaround, or that your teenager might be fibbing? Soon, you may just be able to use your mobile phone to scan for liars.
Mobile-phone software developer AgileMobile.com announced it is developing a lie detector application. The company said the application, designed for advanced smart phones, is a real-time program that measures stress caused by lying in a person’s voice and then displays the information via a graph on the users’ mobile screen.
The application is just one of several the company said it will soon release. Other applications include a fighting game and a virtual pet game. The company recently released its new Agile Messenger, which it said allows wireless users to connect to various instant messaging products including ICQ, AOL, Yahoo! and MSN.
