According to the latest news, taking the attack of "inherent racism" seriously, software giant Hewlett-Packard (HP) has admitted that its new face-tracking webcam has some 'issues' with black users. This issue grabbed worldwide attention this month, after a YouTube video being posted by a U.S. man known as "Black Desi" showed his HP webcam that is built into its new computer is refusing to track his face.
According to news.com.au, the YouTube video quickly attracted some 500,000 hits and showed Black Desi's webcam working as it should when his work colleague "White Wanda" stepped in front of the camera, but when "Black Desi" got in front, no face recognition took place. The video, which was part tongue-in-cheek, has sparked worldwide debate in the online community, with websites and forums split between discrediting the clip, claiming that it's a lighting issue or attacking HP for racism.
According to HP, there was a problem with lighting and other webcams also struggle with this. The webcam was developed to enhance live conversations and is supposed to follow the user in all directions and zoom in and out. The technology they use is built on standard algorithms which measures the difference in intensity of contrast between the eyes and the upper cheek and nose. The camera might have difficulty 'seeing' contrast in conditions where there is insufficient foreground lighting.
