Natal is being developed by a brazilian engineer (from a brazilian city called "Natal"). There are a lot of blacks there :(

Does that make this revelation even more tragic?

According to the 2006 census, Blacks are 7.4% or 12.908 million people of Brazil's population. Besides, natal is being developed in the USA, so your point is mute. Also, he's not the only engineer working on the project.

Moral of the story: stop watching bubble butt porn
so my stream doesn't slow down :(

How is this not FUD? The basis of the thread is an article about an unrelated use for near-IR and another article that merely stated that N'Gai had trouble steering, possibly due to the crazy dread-locks confusing Natal.

I guess Natal was like "What the hell, is this a fat predator? I don't know if i should let this one drive".

But yeah, nice find, concentrated dose of FUD, brought to you by Nib....found on IGN boards.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Oh, wow. This is some very interesting information. I think other people should know about it. I'll remember to tell my co-workers about it tomorrow.

*emails news tip to Drudge*

I'm not black and I'm not really bothered so I guess I'm not very sensitive.

Somehow I think GAF's black members are probably ok with this joke....

this isn't funny at all if true. What an oversight. Thank god this isn't releasing soon ( and thank god I'm black, but lighter skinned.) Darker people always get left out. :-/

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.

It's amazing how a mere supposition based on a single case has already so many people doubting and laughing at the device... it's already all over the net, while all we know for the moment is "it didn't work for this one guy".

The internet is indeed a powerful thing... :/

Not really.

And even then, he was in a near-stark white room which provided some contrast.

The rest of us aren't fortunate enough to live in such a sterile environment. Varying lighting conditions and darker colors in the room might prove to be quite vexing . . .

Bullshit. It worked the same for him as it did everyone else.

For the last time, the depth measurement does not depend on the ambient lighting, it can only work by sending light from the camera and measuring the time it takes to get back to each pixel... it would still work in a dark room, or in a white room with girls dressed in ghost suits a la "Charlie's angel".
It's time of flight - based, not contrast -based.

I almost hate to contribute to this thread but my Nintendo DSi doesn't recognize me, my family or my black friends hardly at all when using some of the face recognition lens on the camera app, and Wario Ware Snapped has problems as well. At first I jokingly said Nintendo was racist when I tried to use it and struggled but my white friends got it to work instantly, but then as I gave it to more and more black people I don't know if I'm joking anymore... maybe Nintendo of America should hire a black QE :-/
