First dates can be a nerve-wracking experience, filled with unease and uncertainty over whether or not the other person is interested. But new technology that could help clear up at least some of the mystery surrounding such dates might be on its way. An'emotion detector' has been created which researchers claim will be able to tell whether or not a person finds you attractive almost instantly. An'emotion detector' concept has been designed that can tell if a person finds you attractive on the first date by measuring skin and heart rate responses and a pupil-dilation measure. Researchers at the University of Lancaster were inspired to make the device by a gadget featured in the 1982 sci-fi fantasy film'Blade Runner'.
