Well things could get a whole lot worse if Microsoft’s latest innovation comes to light. Microsoft has filed a patent application for new computer software that will allow employees to be monitored wirelessly for blood pressure, body temp., heart rate and even facial expressions!

The idea is to provide Bosses with information on how well their employees are dealing with stress - the technology has been used in different industries before, such as stress tests for NASA but never for the Office space.

If the idea does take off, which I seriously doubt it will, it could open the door to some very interesting new software and maybe even be introduced into the gaming market, after all it wasn’t long ago that NeuroSky introduced the Next generation Toys to read brain waves idea.
