Xbox One Kinect won't recognise you after a hair cut

Gamereactor writes: "We've been at it for just over a week now, and with your Xbox One you'll get the brand new Kinect sensor. With this you can get logged in (once you've made all the necessary calibrations) to your Xbox One autmatically as it has your biometrics down. This means the sensor is capable of pairing the player in front of the screen with the appropriate Xbox Live account.

However, if you make some radical changes to your appearance - such as a visit to the barbershop - you won't be recognised. This was something we experienced (see the before and after pictures)."

Even my friends wouldn't recognize me if i had the same hair cut as the one in OP

[FANTA1180]

same here , thats a serious haircut.

[G20WLY]

So you have to re-introduce yourself to your XBone every 'Movember'? lol :P

[Utalkin2me]

I mean it can "Read your Heartbeat", but why can it not recognize your facial features?

[FANTA1180]

@Utalkin2me

i have no idea , ill let you know when i cut my hair.

its not a big concern for me.

[rainhell77]

lol

[N4g_null]

Lol sluaghter.... sony has the best trolls.

But by some funny measure, some people might expect an IR camera to still recognize the major unchangeable (sans plastic surgery) features of your face.

And you know, maybe the world's biggest software company could have thought about that possibility.

yeah kinnect is so next gen

[sigfredod]

lol the face is the same, the only change was the haircut, is not suppose to recognize your face?

[Ezz2013]

Xbox Kinect: Dave.....DAVE,where are you and who the hell is this guy? :P

j/k j/k

[Livecustoms]

I was thinking about that lol ?

[kingdip90]

I wonder if having a cold effects voice recognition also

[KingDadXVI]

Seriously, if you hate the Kinect that much so be it. But don't be ridiculous.

This is kind of like when you see a kid with a toy that does something the other kids are jealous of. Instead of letting the kid have fun with it the haters have to try and ruin it and make it out to be something horrible.

Grow up.

[mydyingparadiselost]

This is actually pertinent information for anyone with a kinect.

[KingDadXVI]

Yeah, I imagine there are so many people out there that are going to run out and get a Fro like that cut down to nothing. Get real.

[mydyingparadiselost]

Of course. Women never go from long to short hair, men never grow beards, we all look the same everyday from birth to death.

This is something anyone with a kinect should be aware of, I would want to know why my kinect isn't recognizing me, or make sure to undo any facial recognition locks BEFORE going and getting a makeover.

[Gamesgbkiller]

What happen if my hair grows?

[SilentNegotiator]

What are the chances of that happening?

[MegaRay]

I always have a new look, kinect #dealwithit

[TemplarDante]

Wtf Xbox. You wont recognise me? Well well well, I thought I knew you, but the way you've been chewing discs since we went steady.
Im sorry, its over. Im leaving!

[MegaRay]

You're breaking with her?

[Deathdeliverer]

Damn that's some accuracy.

[Perjoss]

"Kinect can recognize each users face and log each person in accordingly"

me and my twin brother want our money back!

[ExitToExisT]

He does look like a different person.

[Grave]

XBOX, who am I?

[sonofmrpsychotic]

freedom of speech gets you kicked out of N4g, that's sad
