In this two minute video, you're introduced to Desi Cryer [his name is visible on the name tag], "black" guy [he call himself black, Ed.] who purchased an HP laptop for Christmas - intended for his wife. However, his plan of surprising his wife for Christmas with the newest HP laptop went astray due to a "Face tracking" software glitch.
Well, as you can see on a video - that is not the case here; HP's bundled software is simply not recognizing Desi's face. But when his white coworker shows in the screen, camera picks up her face without a glitch and simply tracks it - the software works like a charm.

LMAO that is funny but harsh at the same time. It must be something to do with the lighting in the background and the surrounding objects.
Never argue with an idiot, he'll drag you down to his level, and beat you with experience.
And 15 mins later...

Lol that's pretty good

Most recognition things don't work for black people, Project Natal didn't work for most of the black journalists at e3.

That's because Project Natal was an empty box at e3. Originally Posted by Jameseh

Awww, is that what they're calling it? Racism? Bless
It's not HPs fault that technology doesn't recognise dark tones and colours, digitial cameras and any sort of visual technology is equally as "racist" in comparison, though smile shutter probably works quite well :/ The tech just needs enhancing so it focuses more when something dark is put in its place, digital cameras have been doing this for years - recognising different colours, lights and tones, so all this needs is the same treatment.
