Well, sensors like these are very well programmed to detect light at some limited number of conditions. There should a switch to set the correct lighting.

Like the HP webcam, the Kinect camera needs enough light and contrast to determine features in a person's face before it can perform software recognition and log someone into the game console automatically.

I remember a customer calling in complaining about kinect being racist, he explains to me that is he black and his living room also has a black wallpaper and the sensor does not detect him, I could not stop laughing after the call.

@EarlZ: LOL! just LOL!

maybe technology should actually have face detectors that actually detects faces and not the light the face reflects~ just saying
