Become a punter

Welcome once again, friends of videogaming and other forms of electronic entertainment. Today, I will go into some more detail about how you may become part of the project that will surpass everything you hold dear in the world of videogaming.

Much has been speculated about when three-dimensional visualization will take hold in mainstream gaming. With the advent of Project White Belt, the wait is over. Our technology partners have already built a first batch of early prototypes, later iterations of which will be ready for test deployment in all three major territories within one year. Specifically, we are looking for punters, as we call them, in Japan and Korea, Canada and the United States as well as the United Kingdom, France and Germany. This test is scheduled to take place in early 2009. Other regions may join at a later date.

If you live in those countries and are interested in becoming a punter, you need to be at least eighteen years of age, prepared to sign a non-disclosure agreement, as well as a lease contract and legal release. Further restrictions may apply in individual countries. Test devices are fully insured and detailed instructions, as well as health and safety documents, are included.




Punters must not suffer or have suffered from epilepsy or other seizures, chronic migraine, traumata, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome or vision disorders and must not have any record of those medical conditions in the family. In case of pregnancy, heart or respiratory conditions, back, joint or orthopaedic problems, high blood pressure or if you have been instructed by your physician to restrict your physical activity, you may not be eligible to join. Please also note that these restrictions are solely dictated by the technologies implemented and no applicant shall be entitled to compensation on the grounds of non-eligibility.

Applicants will also be required to submit extensive personal details, both before and during the test period. You may also have to undergo regular medical examinations in your area. Solid gaming experience is necessary and proficiency in operating a videocamera is a bonus. All equipment necessary for the test will be supplied and all expenses incurred will be paid for.

With those contingencies out of the way, I am sure that many of you would like to ask some questions. Again, I ask for your understanding if I cannot answer all of them.
