Consumer Reports fends off claims of Kinect being racist

A mini-flurry of media buzz hit after posted a news article titled, "Kinect has problems recognizing dark-skinn🍰ed users?" The reportclaims that"two dark-skinned GameSpot employees had problems getting the system's facial recognition features to work." Later on, it notes, "Lighter-skinned employees were... consistently picked up on t💧he first try."

Once the internet picked up the story, reports of a "racist"Kin๊ectbegan to spread.

Now Consumer Reports has stepped forward, dismissing GameSpot's story and suggesting that the employees probably just had it calibrated incorrectly or were in ꦦa low-light🀅 setting.

"Consumer Reports did not encounter this issue with the Kinect and facial recognition when we first tested it," wrote the consumer advocacy group in a blog post. The magazine put Kinect through the exact same test as GameSpot, with one black person standing next to a white person. "At no time did it 🦹recognize one player and not the other," wrote Consumer Reports.

After repeated updates and requests for clarification from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft, GameSpot sticks by its observations, but its off𒁃icial stance on the issue is to "abstain" on the scope of the recogniti⛄on problem, and whether or not skin color has anything to do with it.

Per﷽haps racist motion cameras only really exist in office sitcom🌟s:
