Guest IRARI Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4DT3tQqgRM Quote This is awkward. It appears that HP's new webcams, which have facial-tracking software, can't recognize black faces, as evidenced in the above video. HP has responded: Quote We are working with our partners to learn more. The technology we use is built on standard algorithms that measure the difference in intensity of contrast between the eyes and the upper cheek and nose. We believe that the camera might have difficulty "seeing" contrast in conditions where there is insufficient foreground lighting. hp face-tracking webcams don't recognize black people Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/51784-hp-doesnt-care-about-black-people/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Drahken Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) Its not racism, it just appears that way to the uninformed. The reality is this software was funded by Yakuza bosses who wanted their ninjas to pass without detection, and as a side effect black people are also able to do the same. This brings forth an exciting possibility, black ninjas.

Blir Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 You know what I hate about that poster other than the "racial connotations"? How shit it is. It's not even clever in any way, it's just garbage. Plus, they'd only sprint directly into each other if they did start running.
