Exclaim Mobility and NVIDIA Join I3A

WAKEFIELD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- I3A (the International Imaging Industry Association; http://www.i3a.org), the leading global association for the imaging industry, today announced that media-sharing application provider Exclaim Mobility, Inc. and NVIDIA, a leader in visual and parallel computing, have joined the non-profit organization as Regular members.

"I'm delighted to welcome Exclaim Mobility and NVIDIA to the I3A community and programs," said I3A President Lisa Walker. "As top innovators and influencers in imaging and mobile technology, these companies will help us make the most of the exciting opportunities in social and mobile imaging, now and in the future."

Exclaim Mobility will be an active member of I3A’s Photo Sharing Interest Group. I3A Interest Groups map to the areas of technology that are of interest to I3A members, and Interest Group Initiatives enable the rapid development of consortium standards or other programs, delivering quick and unique solutions to the market that are unavailable through other processes. The Photo Sharing Interest Group will investigate areas such as the challenges of enabling universal access to images, issues relating to bandwidth management and maintaining quality and compatibility, and the ways in which ubiquitous social imaging might change the face, meaning and value of photography in the future.

NVIDIA is an active participant in I3A's Camera Phone Image Quality (CPIQ) Initiative, which is creating a consumer-oriented rating system for camera phone images. The rating system will provide a tool for translating and distilling the complex set of measurements and tests into a rating that consumers can quickly and easily understand, to aid in selection of camera phones. In addition to the technical work, the initiative group will work to build awareness and encourage industry-wide adoption of the CPIQ standards and testing methods by the mobile imaging supply chain. The technical specifications developed by CPIQ to date are available from I3A's Resources Store, located at http://www.i3a.org/resources/.

I3A members are drawn from all sectors of the imaging ecosystem, and they include many household-name multi-nationals as well as small innovative technology companies – see the full list at http://www.i3a.org/about-i3a/member-listing/. More information about membership can be found at http://www.i3a.org/join.
