other photo prints online. Any family that has digital photos

cards makes the special view from holidays, family photos and

Once the user has arrived at http://fotoinsight.co.uk/calendar/
Picture Pairs section and has clicked on Print Items, a window
appears displaying a range of photographic calendars and Picture
Pairs Game. The user uploads pictures in JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG,
TIFF, PSD, BMP and GIF through browser boxes or simply uploads a
complete, compressed ZIP or RAR folder.
Why is the FotoInsight Picture Pairs such a valuable game?
Creating individual picture pair games from digital images
offers much room for creative ideas with holiday snaps, flowers,
landscapes and family pictures. A very unique Photographic
Picture Pairs game can also be created from 25 familiar faces,
like parents, children, grand parents, cousins and friends.
According to researchers at the MIT Williams (Williams, A.O.,
2001) there is behavioural evidence from infant experiments and
studies of prosopagnosics (or face blindness, affecting about 1
in 50 people) providing evidence for innateness of special human
face recognition abilities. There seems to exist an anatomically
distinct area for quick, holistic recognition of faces. Some
scientists suggest that faces might be processed differently
than other objects with special difficulties in inverting face
images, making a Photographic Picture Pairs game of familiar
faces an extremely valuable and unique learning tool.
The Managing Director of http://fotoinsight.com/ Klaas Brumann
comments: "FotoInsight's Photographic Picture Pairs are a new
dimension in combining own digital images and the ability to
create classic games."
