Simultaneous tracking of image and negative image would be simplest. Make checks payable to UBSOTOS.
Built in light for Black people? How would that look? “HP Desktop Cam! Now available with extra light for Black People!”
And just why is this completely idiotic story even being reported!!!???

The video is absolutely hilarious and you can’t blame the black guy at all. The camera clearly doesn’t like him. It’s in mirror mode, if you are wondering about the backwards letters.
problem = HP Webcam doesn’t track blacks as well as whites (noticed by black Desi)
solution1 = recognize you’ve identified a problem to which you can offer a better solution...build/sell the better solution...benefit yourself financially and your fellow blacks who would buy this more black-sensitive/responsive webcam
solution2 = whine about the webcam problem you’ve discovered, insisting that an inanimate object is racist and demand that someone fix it for you
reality = HP shares were up 1.1%
If it followed the black guy around and not the white it would be profiling.
I think the black guy is racist for thinking a computer is racist.....well...actually he’s just an idiot.

After seeing the video, which is impressive, it's clear that black Desi is just having some fun with this and doesn't appear to be genuinely offended.
He did find one hell of a good software/firmware bug. Good QA.
I know everything hasn't been quite right with me, but I can assure you now, very confidently, that it's going to be all right again. I feel much better now. I really do.
Look, Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over. I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.
Flash! Optics/physics found racist! NBC announces it will no longer use cameras for its TV shows!
I can no longer distinguish reality from satire.
“New Improved* HP Desktop Camera!”

I don’t like cameras on PCs period. if mine had one, I’d tape it over.
For real. You can't swing a dead werewolf without hitting a stinking vampire these days...
They should verify if it has the same effect on dark-masked Islamist terrorists.
