HEWLETT’PACKARD PROMOTES RACIST TECHNOLOGY. and Google is an ignorant secretary.

Apparently humanity is taught improperly.
What I mean to say is that a few hours ago, I clicked on the link tweeted by @lollerskates and I encountered the reaction of a man and his co-worker to the impressive new technology offered my HP, where the eternal “omg my webcam needs to follow my face because I move too much and my mom on the other side of the world can’t watch me masturbate as if for some reason she cared to see every little movement I make while we are on skype”
Well, a few months ago I was reading up on Slovenian technology-based art and I came across their solving face recognition based on colour capted by the frame.

This is amazing, beautiful and awesome! BUT there is a HUGE BUTT in the way.
This facial recognition, which relies on light reception, as photography, and a lot of non-digital video does, does not take into account that all human faces aren’t WHITE. Also, Apple failed to fix this issue in their Photobooth app, as you all may have noticed, even though the screen asks you to disappear from the frame while it is capturing the background so that your face won’t blend in with the moon landing background, it is likely that if you are anywhere near the color of the wall behind you, your face may blend in with outer space (if you’ve played with photobooth or ichat, you know what i am talking about. otherwise, leave a comment and i shall clarify).
HP failed to realize this, as in the impetus of moving the image presented by this artwork’s poppy techonogical breakthrough, and Apple’s fun narcissistic toy app, about 50% of the entire world was left faceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fact that a lighter skintone will be recognized as closer to “standart white skin” will eventually dissipate melanin variations as being part of the background of existence.
Let’s say for instance that I, Cata, a girl with yellowish-orangish-beige skin is chillin in front of my brandnew HP with facial recognition on a cream-and-yellow colored background. I want to show my mother the new dance moves I learned at the club. So I get up, and “forget” to stay within the constraints of the webcam because duh, I have the cool one that will follow my skin so she can watch me uninterrupted. Well, as I am probably not pasty enough to shine under the light, the camera will forget my face exists and not move at all.
I haven’t actually tried this, as I am broke and anti-social, but I am sure that this will be the case.
What I am asking for is that this problem is solved.
Face recognition technology needs to begin to recognize regions of concavity, curvature, and threedimensional space rather than assume all people are shiny peaches with dark, recognizable features. Like beyond 010101010101 type shit.
Maybe a camera that can sense volumes and density, like the 3-D holographic computer receives hand energy like a cloudy mouse.
Way!
