Light is racist
by Volker Weber
Funny video, but once again it proves that photography is mostly about light. Especially with dark subjects.

... does not follow Negroes.
I thought the term was obsolete -- rude even. I seem to be wrong.
Eagerly awaiting the billion dollar class action lawsuit...
Jan-Piet, you may use the term... as long as you are african american :-)
I wonder if with more light it would actually follow him too, but really, probably not very well. Got an Asus laptop with face recognition for log in (came with it, not why I bought it) and even my pale face is only recognized 1 out of 10 times....
It's not racist, because it works with Michael Jackson!
Exceptions confirm the rule (and only them).
I only ask myself why all the signs in the background and the black man's name tag are mirror-inverted? Were they filming a mirror???
Ragnar, try any chat application. If your own picture on the screen would not behave like a mirror, you would not know how to move yourself in front of the camera. Or it would feel really weird. It's a different story for the other end of the conversation. You will usually send a non-mirrored stream, so that the other party can read things you hold in front of the camera.
In this video you see the local stream, not the remote one.
I would have thought they simply used the web cam as a video recording device, which should also result in a non-mirrored stream, shouldn't it? Why grabbing the mirrored stream off the screen?
How are you so sure that a software which records from a webcam does not mirror the stream? If it is front-mounted it has to mirror the "viewfinder", as I just explained.
