HP has facial-tracking software for the webcams in their new computers. Awkwardly it is unable to recognize faces of black people. Watch the video to know.

We are working with our partners to learn more. The technology we use is built on standard algorithms that measure the difference in intensity of contrast between the eyes and the upper cheek and nose. We believe that the camera might have difficulty "seeing" contrast in conditions where there is insufficient foreground lighting.
