Blade Runner — the Voight-Kampff machine (contactless multi-physiological liveness/identity test) (1968)

  • id: blade-runner-voight-kampff
  • corpus: fictional
  • form factor: other
  • creator: Philip K. Dick
  • disclosure: Dick, Philip K. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Doubleday, 1968 (film: Blade Runner, Warner Bros., 1982); a portable instrument that measures involuntary physiological responses — pupil dilation, ‘capillary dilation of the so-called blush response’, heart rate, micro-expression — under questioning, to classify a subject as human or replicant.
  • ip status: fictional
  • sensors: sensor-camera-ir, sensor-camera-eye
  • algorithms: algo-pupillometry, algo-hr, algo-emotion-recognition
  • prior art notes: Discloses a device that contactlessly measures multiple involuntary physiological signals from a person’s face (pupil dilation, blush/capillary response, heart rate, micro-expression) and fuses them into a binary classification of the subject. Relevant to remote-photoplethysmography / pupillometry / ‘deception or liveness detection’ claims combining ‘contactless facial imaging’, ‘extraction of two or more involuntary physiological signals’, and ‘a classification of the subject’. § 103 motivation as of 1968. Cf. [[psycho-pass-cymatic-scan]], [[gattaca-biometric-checkpoints]].
