PCs that aren’t PC. Amusing.

There’s your problem right there - “Frosty” as in “snowman”, as in “white guy”.

Before they go any further, HP should first verify that Desi is not a vampire.

Just make it an infra-red camera. Problem solved.

Although not a serious issue of "racism", this is a legitimate functionality issue. Is there a brightness adjustment on the camera or in its software that can correct for this, I wonder?
I, personally, do not like the camera following my head movement; I might like to scratch my nose off camera.

It’s probably just an error in calibration (ie luminescence) or perhaps background (if it’s similar enough to his skin-tone the computer might not be able to differentiate).

I’m surprised he’s smart enough to use the computer.

It makes me wonder if people have difficulty reading the faces of others from dissimilar ethnic or racial backgrounds.

Of course, if the camera followed black people around the room and left white people alone, Desi would say that camera is even more racist.
To: DCurts
Maybe if he weren’t the same color as the background he wouldn’t have that problem.?

Maybe the computers are like Senator “Sheets” Byrd (D-KLAN), think they all look the same anyway, so why bother with trying to recognize them?

I blame political correctness at the HP testing labs. The folks writing the test scenarios for this hardware were probably too afraid to suggest that there might be skin color specific behavior associated with this device. Don’t want to have to spend another day in sensitivity training!

Simultaneous tracking of image and negative image would be simplest. Make checks payable to UBSOTOS.
