    Dr. Harry Witchel found out how to detect boredom of the user of computers all around the world. Obvious ways of detecting boredom are being able to notice scratching, fidgeting and stretching. It is a fact that the more you are interested in the document, the less random movements you do like the ones above. To test the theory Witchel invited 27 people and made them do online activities ranging from playing online games, to reading documents like the EU banking regulations that most people would find boring. A video motion tracker recorded their movements. Just as the researchers had suspected, the involuntary actions decreased by about 42%, as the subjects became more interesting. The new type of computer can be used to gauge the student's interest level, and might also be able to help filmmakers make more interesting films, as well as helping engineers creating more empathetic companion robots.
