Kinect has problems recognizing dark-skinned users

What we heard: Part of Microsoft's $500 million marketing push for Kinect includes positioning it as an accessible entertainment device for all audiences. However, it may be more accessible to some than others.

While testing out the Kinect, two dark-skinned GameSpot employees experienced problems with the system's facial recognition abilities. The system recognized one employee inconsistently, while it was never able to properly identify the other despite repeated calibration attempts. However, Kinect had no problems identifying a third dark-skinned GameSpot employee, recognizing his face after a single calibration. Lighter-skinned employees were also consistently picked up on the first try.

I love it. Lets hope that such issues help such gimmicky crap to bomb

Ah yes that explains why Ice T isn't buying it.

It only has problems recognizing black faces, which makes sense. Its designed to distinguish human faces, after all.

How predictable - recognizing faces with poor contrast between features is problematic for CCD devices.

In before retards accusing kinect of being racist. Expecting some serious butthurt and much lulz.

Enjoy the KGB watching your cyber with furry_warhammer_40k_lover. I'm sure the eventual sodomization in a spetnaz safe-house will go smother for the practice.

Now we know that the real Cleveland Mark Blakemore is employed by Microsoft.

Unless you mean the user's tits, in which case I recommend you look for some of ScottishMartialArts's photos somewhere on the site.
