How Natal Knows If You're Female or Male

[DjEaZy]

... is this scary or not? it seems like google and microsoft haz an armsrace... then face and fingerprint recognition... an internet connection... get my drift?

What if Justyin Beiber plays???

Hmmm i remember a while back the face tracking software from hp or dell .. that couldn't face track black people. So i'm wondering, is skin color a problem for natal when it comes to distinguishing sexes?

 

[slabbo]

it's easy, if you play xbox you're a male. if you don't play it, you're female.

What if it is Ricky Martin?

And worst of all: What if it is Caster Semenya??

I would think children would be difficult to differentiate. Physically very similar with far fewer gender specific movements.

They should just use airport scanners and get it over with. Those seem to work extremely well in determining the parts inside the pants.

The only way this can work is if it can see my cock. Imagine standing there waving your tackle around in front of your telly. Be like being a teenager again.

Whew there are in fact other anatomical places that they could have used to decide this...

They can spare the complexity by asking them to take off their clothes!

Or the software could ask the simplest question of all:
Wasssuuuuuppp!?

If it gets an immediate answer like "wasssuuuuupp" then it's definitely a dude in front of the PC!!

"..Awkward question, but... Male or Female?"

I was thinking that too for a second, but then a horrible image jumped into my mind: manboobs...

I doubt there is a single body part that can be used to tell gender from with 100% reliability. What's wrong with a box asking you your gender the first time you use Natal?

 

[lire210]

oi they are just going to get sued.

 

[jgiron]

what if the guy has man-boobs? or the lady has beer-gut?

The Natal will also come with a flour reservoir, which will shoot small packets of flour, and look for the wet spot....

So, does that mean this thing could be used as a Gay O' Meter?
