Not sure if your date is having a good time?

Out on a first date not sure if it is going well. Then inventor James Larsson has the product for you. Larsson has developed a knife and fork that have sensors embedded in the handles that can provide feedback on the emotional state of their user. So when your date is cutting her steak you can find out if they are enjoying themselves. The concept is targeted at geeks who Larsson charaterizes as having "...major challenges dating". I wonder how he knows? Since the current version of the device involves a large monitor and lots of wires I do not think you should plan on purchasing one of these any time soon. For the record Larsson is the same inventor who made a clock using a prawn sandwich and a BBC micro.
