i'm dan ackerman and we are here testing one of the coolest new features of the next generation of game consoles both the xbox one and the PlayStation 4 can log you in through facial recognition the xbox does it through the Kinect camera that comes included with the system and for the PlayStation before you need the PlayStation camera that's a sixty-dollar add-on but I think it's well worth it let's take a look at how it works on both of these consoles I'm going to start off with a straight face recognition you're going to sit in front of the camera and the playstation 4 knows who I am now I'm going to step off camera let me forget about me I'm going to come back without my eyeglasses on I'm still me great I'm going to step off camera again this time we're going to come back wearing a hat up and playstation 4 does not know who i am but if i take the hat off nah I'm me again fant it now we're going to try to log into the xbox sit down in front of it and there's me okay great now we're going to step off camera and I'm going to come back having taken off my glasses and now i'm just an anonymous guest I'm gonna leave one more time and this time I'm going to come back wearing my hat and he gets it took a second but it's all who I was we tested the xbox one kinect and the playstation camera regular face glasses on and off hat on left I have one more test for you I'll be right back and I'm back okay first let's try the kinect okay there i am it sees me now we're going to go over to the playstation 4 and again no problem there i am so while hats and eyeglasses may fool these game consoles no beard no problem i'm dan ackerman and that is our xbox one vs playstation 4 facial recognition shootout
