Visioneers are members of Activision's elite External testing force. A group of gamers dedicated to helping us in make games that rock. Visioneers are not a part of a focus group, they are a part of our team. They fill an essential role in the development process, that of "fresh eyes" providing us the reality check (we call it "the cold shower of truth."). We need to ensure that our games exceed our expectations -- dazzling, imaginative, cutting-edge and fun.
Visioneers are not just Alpha or Beta testers, or even play-balancers. Whereas traditional testers in these groups participate on one title and are then released, we keep our Visioneers and continue to use them project after project building a relationship with them.
Although Visioneers are not paid, the job is not without rewards. Visioneers get to play copies of games while still in development (depending on available projects and your schedule). The mission is simple: play the game and Give us feedback! Was it Fun? Was it challenging? Were you engaged? What could make it better, more engaging, or more exciting? Constructive criticism, coupled with "bug" reports and hardware compatibility feedback help us create games that are truly exceptional, and Visioneer suggestions may even get into the game. The Visioneers of Activision are our standing army of external testers charged with the duty of ensuring that we make great games.

No I haven't been contacted yet, although I just signed up yesterday for it. It'll be a wait and see if I hear from them or not.
Gratz on you getting into the team though.
