Veritas et Visus Display Standard February 2009 evident both at 0 and at 27 degrees. For a more quantitative understanding, the researchers computed the full-widthat-tenth-maximum for each angle. CCD images of line patterns in both layers at different angles. Note that the best alignment is achieved at 15 degrees in the field of view of the camera. The results suggest that the angle of view is a crucial parameter when measuring noise and resolution of display devices with potential for parallax errors. The results also suggest that the methods developed for 2D devices with no parallax need to be updated to incorporate the parallax error, even when measuring a single viewing direction with a detector having a finite aperture. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Veritas et Visus Display Standard February 2009 Interview with Nicole Helsberg from ESAC Nicole Helsberg is the director of public, public relations at the Entertainment Software Association of Canada (ESAC). She was previously manager of communications for the Information Technology Association of Canada (ITAC.) ITAC is the voice of the Canadian Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) industry in all sectors including telecommunications and Internet services, ICT consulting services, hardware, microelectronics, software and electronic content. Prior to joining ITAC, Nicole did communications work for the University of the Arctic in Rovaniemi, Finland. This interview was conducted by Neil Schneider from MTBS who was interested in identifying gaming habits of both parents and children in the home. The interview is republished by permission. I understand you have some exciting findings to share, but first I’d like to talk a bit about the Entertainment Software Association of Canada (ESAC). For those unfamiliar, can you elaborate a bit on what you do? The Entertainment Software Association of Canada is dedicated exclusively to serving the business and public affairs needs of companies in Canada that publish and distribute computer and video games for video game consoles, handheld devices, personal computers and the Internet. Association members include the nation’s leading interactive entertainment software publishers and distributors, which collectively accounted for more than 90% of the $1.67 billion in entertainment software and hardware sales in Canada in 2007. The entertainment software industry currently accounts for over 260 firms and 10,000 direct jobs and thousands more in related fields across Canada. There is ESAC and ESA (for the US market). While you are rooted from the same organization, outside of geography, are there some key differences that set you apart? Are there legal differences, for example? The ESA is our sister association. ESAC, while an advocate of many of the same industry issues, faces different challenges in Canada. One key difference – some of our provinces have legislation that adopts ESRB ratings into law and restricts the sale of Mature and Adults-Only rated games to children. (To date, in the US, only the state of New York has video game legislation). Our membership is also different. While we represent many of the same companies, ESAC’s membership includes companies not members of the ESA, and vice versa. What needs does your organization fill that makes you so critical to the video game industry? ESAC is the voice of the entertainment software industry. We promote the industry to all levels of government – federal, provincial and municipal. ESAC is an advocate for issues affecting our industry, including copyright reform, piracy and intellectual property enforcement, and international trade. We conduct research about and on behalf of the industry, and promote the industry to the public. We work with provincial officials and our partners in the retail sector to promote the industry’s rating system and help parents and consumers make informed choices about the games they purchase or rent for their families. Once a Mature (M) or Adults Only (AO) rating is determined, how effective are efforts to get retailers to stop selling to minors? Are kids carded the same way they are for alcohol or cigarettes? Do stores prevent sales somehow? Together, with our partners at the Retail Council of Canada (RCC) and the ESRB, we have a wonderful program called “Commitment to Parents” (CTP). The CTP program is a voluntary initiative designed to restrict the selling or renting of games to children that are meant for older teenagers and adults. The program’s mandate is to help parents make informed choices for their families by educating consumers about the ESRB rating system and ratings enforcement. CTP participating retailers agree not to sell Mature (M) or Adults Only (AO) rated games to under age children. They display store signs, which advise customers of their participation in the program and promote awareness and understanding of the ESRB rating system. And yes, sales associates will card someone who looks under age before they are allowed to purchase a game. 53
