Project Natal,incompatible with black people

[Synthaz]

Above impressions show that N'Gai Croal was not able to use Natal.

"When game consultant and former Newsweek writer N'Gai Croal gave Paradise a test drive, however, the game had trouble reading his steering actions. The footwork (gas and brakes) worked fine, but Croal couldn't steer his car at all."

Above shows a journal which reports that near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is less effective on black skin as "melanin clearly interferes with the quality of the reflected NIRS signal".

As I understand, Natal uses near-infrared.

Please tell me someone on the Natal team has thought of this, or this could be the most epic failure in the history of video games."

should I laugh or should I cry?(I'm black btw )

[Abubakr]

They should fix that problem fast.

[DarkAztaroth]

Cry laughing

They're probably gonna get sued if they don't write '' incompatible with black people'' on the box or fix it ...

[vexicat]

I knew this would fail epically in one way or another

And for some reason i knew it would end up in racism

[BlackEnd]

You'll need gloves and face mask to play this. Mask and Gloves included in the box!

/sarcasm end

[Pok]

Could be really interesting to see what they do about it.

I wonder if they knew about this before they made it?

[Veron]

[vexicat]

May ze infractions swarm thy sir.

[Kashis]

I hope they fix this problem because the idea does sound interesting.

On the plus side, our skin blocks this kind technology from catching our movements....interesting.

[TaikoxKashi]

I feel bad for laughing.

(No, i'm not racist)

[SahibX]

i lol'd pretty hard when i read this, and i think Veron is right LMFAO

[Useless]

This is funny stuff.
I am sure it will be fixed though this may delay their release date since they gotta change quite a bit of stuff around to fix that.

[vexicat]

So,it works fine with white people

it doesnt work for black people


so does it Kinda work for mexicans?

[Alivada]

This is pretty funny but I don't think Natal is getting released any time soon so there will be time to fix this.

[Serix]

there's a 50% chance right thar.

I'm mexican but I'm fully white, but I have some brown *** mexican friends.

Either way, this is hilarious

"incompatible with black people"

lmao!...

I'm not a racist but to see that on the Natal box would be other worldly.

[Neutral]

oh god, microsoft is racist!

[leathel]

I'm sure they'll come up with attachments you can add to your black person to made them compatible. <---har har, hope that wasn't too offensive.

Yeah since you reffered to a black person as some sort of pet.

I find it funny even though im black i hope some ****** doesnt try sue them though all it means is they forgot to test something they thought would have no effect. It happens a lot.

Plus we all know Microsoft hate to test their products properly before releasing them.

Vista release
Xbox 360 release.

[BadpcGuy]

Sony
/Win
Srry Xbox I still love you.

If you keep reading the comments on that page, you'll discover this was wrong, and didn't happen with others dark skinned people.

This is the kind of thing I feared with NATAL, why I gave Sony's Dildos a +1.

Because there is no constant in the mix involved with the person, the device becomes too susceptible to misreading information properly.

Because of Sony's Dildos, the EyeToy is guaranteed the exact same target to look for every time, allowing ti to work almost every time.

Lmao wut r u talking about Sony Dildos!?

[MoonSoul]

The ignorance levels in some posts are off the chart

Hail to Microsoft the new age Nazi multi-million corp /facedesk
Also lawd at those that used this as a +1 to chose Sony's as better when they weren't even aware of it at the time

I think both have potential but we can hardly know the hardware/software limitations yet, despite that I imagine there's still plenty of.

[Zynosphere]

i laughed for a good minute or two then i realized how interesting it is that skin color can **** around with motion sensors =O
