Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games

Photosensitive seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

ESRB Game Ratings

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide consumers, especially parents, with concise, impartial guidance about the age-appropriateness and content of computer and video games. This information can help consumers make informed purchase decisions about which games they deem suitable for their children and families.

ESRB ratings have two equal parts:

Rating Symbols suggest age appropriateness for the game. These symbols appear on the front of virtually every game box available for retail sale or rental in the United States and Canada.
Content Descriptors indicate elements in a game that may have triggered a particular rating and/or may be of interest or concern. The descriptors appear on the back of the box next to the rating symbol.

For more information, visit www.ESRB.org.

DR.RYUTAKAWASHIMA

Born in Japan in 1959, Dr. Kawashima graduated from Tohoku University School of Medicine where he received his MD. He is an expert on the science of brain imaging, which maps the activity of the human brain. After becoming a guest researcher at the famed Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, he returned as an assistant researcher and a full-time lecturer and is now a doctor at the Tohoku University Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer.

GAME CONTROLS

This game utilizes the Kinect Sensor. Stand facing your television screen and move your hands to navigate the menus and make selections.

Hand Cursors

Hold your hands up so that your palms face the screen. A pair of hand cursors will appear: the red one represents your right hand and the blue one represents your left hand. Move either cursor to make menu selections.

NOTE: When you hold your hands close to your body, the hand cursors become transparent and can't be used to make selections. As you move your hands towards the sensor, the hand cursors become opaque and work properly.

Selection Gauge

To select an item from the menu, keep the hand cursor over your selection until the circular gauge appears. Once the gauge fills completely, your selection is made.

Player Recognition

Only the player standing closest to the camera within its range is recognized and able to control the game. Please make sure that anyone else besides the player does not enter the play space.

IF ANOTHER PLAYER IS RECOGNIZED

In the event that another player is accidentally recognized, simply have that player step away and out of view of the camera. Verify the correct player is being recognized by viewing the photo in the upper left hand corner of the screen.

WARNING ICON

When the Kinect Sensor does not properly recognize the player's body, a warning icon (like the ones found to the right) appears. Adjust your positioning or reconfigure your Kinect through the Kinect Guide.

System Gesture

A Playing KINECT Safely

Make sure you have enough space so you can move freely while playing.

Gameplay with KINECT may require varying amounts of movement. Make sure you

won't hit, run into, or trip over other players, bystanders, pets, furniture, or other objects when playing. If you stand or move during gameplay, you need good footing.

Before playing: Look in all directions (right, left, forward, backward, down, and up) for things you might hit or trip over. Be sure your play area is far enough away from windows, walls, stairs, etc. Make sure there is nothing you might trip on—for example, toys, furniture, loose rugs, children, pets, etc. If necessary, move objects or people out of the play area. Don't forget to look up—be aware of light fixtures, fans, or other objects overhead when assessing the play area.

While playing: Stay far enough away from the television to avoid contact. Keep enough distance from other players, bystanders, and pets—this distance may vary between games, so take account of how you are playing when determining how far away you need to be. Stay alert for objects or people you might hit or trip on—people or objects can move into the area during gameplay, so you should always be alert to your surroundings.

Make sure you always have good footing while playing. Play on a level floor with enough traction for the game activities, and make sure you have appropriate footwear for gaming (no high heels, flip flops, etc.) or are barefoot if appropriate.

Before allowing children to use KINET: Determine how each child can use KINET and whether they should be supervised during these activities. If you allow children to use KINET without supervision, be sure to explain all relevant safety and health information and instructions. Make sure children using KINET play safely and within their limits, and make sure they understand proper use of the system.

To minimize eyestrain from glare: Position yourself at a comfortable distance from your monitor or television and the KINECT sensor; place your monitor or television and KINECT sensor away from light sources that produce glare, or use window blinds to control light levels; choose soothing natural light that minimizes glare and eyestrain and increases contrast and clarity, and adjust your monitor's or television's brightness and contrast.

Don't overexert yourself. Gameplay with KINECT may require varying amounts of physical activity. Consult a doctor before using KINECT if you have any medical condition or issue that affects your ability to safely perform physical activities or if: You are or may be pregnant; you have heart, respiratory, back, joint, or other orthopedic conditions; you have high blood pressure or difficulty with physical exercise; or you have been instructed to restrict physical activity. Consult your doctor before beginning any exercise routine or fitness regimen that includes KINECT. Do not play under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and make sure your balance and physical abilities are sufficient for any movements while gaming.

Stop and rest if your muscles, joints, or eyes become tired or sore. If you experience excessive fatigue, nausea, shortness of breath, chest tightness, dizziness, discomfort, or pain, STOP USING IMMEDIATELY, and consult a doctor.
