    Default Kinect is racist!?

    free controversial publicity

    http://www.gamespot.com/news/6283514...eblogs;title;1

    Kinect has problems recognizing dark-skinned users?

    GameSpot testing suggests facial recognition features of Microsoft's motion-sensing camera system might not work properly for some gamers.

    Quite so HP claimed it was something to do with insufficient lighting in the room or something to that effet, but the persons who did the HP web cam test, that warehouse or where ever they were seemed well lit to me.

    Agreed. Waiting on Evoluce to release their stuff before I buy one though. These guys were already working with multi touch and gesture platforms before Kinect and now that it's here...well they r be going haad. Minority Report tech for the masses at last. I hate standing up in class and giving presentations but I can already see myself doing them with this. And for my mom when she has to give speeches and I have to bring up the next slide for her from somewhere at the front of the audience that can stop now lol

    Yow this racist thing with the Kinnect is bull; evidently if the area is dark and your skin is dark the system may have challenges differentiating the edges of the frame (duh!!!). The reverse is also true, if you are wearing a very white shirt and there is light in the back ground and you have light skin, the system will also have challenges recognizing the edges (duh!!!!)
