Good news! Kinect isn’t racist. At least, that’s according to Consumer Reports which has countered suggestions that Kinect has difficulty recognising faces with dark skin tones. Consumer Reports says it tested Kinect with two testers (one light-skinned, one dark-skinned) in a well-lit room and all was fine. When the lighting was dimmed, both testers found it difficult to be recognised. So it seems that difficulties with logging in are down to the light level not some hidden racism lurking in the circuits of Kinect.
