Bangalore: The company famous for taking moon shots at the technology—Google, is yet again coming up with a device which seems to be straight from science fiction. Google's Motorola Mobility in a recent filing with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has come up with a "system and method" to tattoo a mobile-device microphone with lie-detector circuitry onto the users’ throat, reports The Register.

The device comes with the dual functionality, one which cut downs the background noise and help to carry on a clear conversation in noisy environments just by plastering the device on your throat and the other— its use as lie detector. While its ability to catch voice directly from your throat makes a lot of sense but its ability to detect lie may tick off the users. It is yet unclear how close Motorola is to market the device code named ‘electronic tattoo 110′ – and whether its two practical applications would be kept separate.
