Scratch Lab : Face Sensing!

It's probably a group of people who got nothing to do. That was honestly too sensitive, like blaming others and accusing some face-sensing thing “racist” just because some random black dude cannot get detected by the camera.

The reasons can vary from server failure to not having enough photos of black people, but someone definitely shouldn't accuse it of being racist.
And it kind of seems like it's functioning normal with black people

Then that's an error with the face sensing technology itself, not with Scratch.

My guess on what they're all talking about is that it has trouble detecting all races. Anyways, i can't see any way how this will be used.

It can recreate a couple of DSi games. You know, face training, it’s niche but so does the other extension like the music and translate ones

What about face-detecting technology and racial bias? I think I missed something.

On my normal device, the Face Sensing Scratch Lab blocks do not work for me.

They work for me

if you have darker skin, its hard for a computer to detect where your nose and mouth is as computers arent known for the best/smartest cameras
its not racist, its just not very good at it

EDIT: i did not check if this is the case for scratch labs, but this does happen with other stuff like tiktok filters.

By theory, it works for me, however, it never stops loading.

How do I get my browser system???

Did you allow it to access your camera, and is the camera on your computer functional?

Yes. The camera worked, its functional, it just didn't load. In fact, I saw myself. My browser / operating system: ChromeOS 14541.0.0, Chrome 114.0.0.0, No Flash version detected
