Testers at GameSpot say that it does. Specifically, they wrote, "two coloured GameSpot employees gifted problems with the system's facial approval abilities ." GameSpot remarkable that this affected facial approval only, and that the network was still able to agree to body movements (its "skeletal tracking system," that is formed on infrared light) so people of any skin tinge could fool around all the games only fine.
The situation echoes a complaint that HP ran in to final year, when a video popped up claiming, with tongue somewhat in cheek, that the face-recognition underline in HP laptops was extremist since it was able to follow a white person's face, whilst apparent to disregard that of the coloured person next to her.
However, Consumer Reports investigated the complaint with its own tests and found no problems with face approval or fundamental tracking, with a critical exception: The Kinect was not able to to do face approval fairly in the dim , in any case of how light or dim the subject's skin was.
That's since the Kinect uses manifest light for its face recognition, and is thus more sensitive to darkness.
It moreover has difficulty with sunlight, as Wired reviewer Chris Kohler found. In other words, Kinect might not be racist, but it might be a evil spirit .
Have you seen any problems with face approval software, possibly in the Kinect or in other products? Speak out in the comments!
