Hmmm.
Anything that hints at anything even slightly negative
about blacks or women
is immediate grounds to scream ‘racist’ or ‘sexist’.

How very PC!
(Pun intended!)
(Loved the 2nd video. Still effective after all these years!)

@iPhonerulez: If the camera tracked Blacks, and ignored whites, then HP would be accused of profiling.

Anyhow, that guy Desi got it all wrong. Anybody that knows anything about webcams on the internet would realize that the nerds at HP designed it to track WOMEN and ignore men. A camera that watches men is GAY.

This is just par for the course. The computer industry hasn’t acknowledged blacks for years, so why should the tracking software be any different. There is probably a low percentage of blacks compared to white people using or owning computers. Likely there were no black faces used during the testing and debugging of the software. Hardly that big of a deal and will be easily corrected in a software update.

They’re going to have to completely revise this software for department stores that are tracking shoplifters. They’ll need it to recognize black or brown faces since those are the faces that security is going to assume to target as the shoplifters.

I’m still not sure that face recognition could be considered racist. Would it also fail to notice white people’s faces that had dark tans? Still, this is a rather amusing video and awkward situation for HP.
