Human Computation


Just watched this very interesting video about Human Computation. The basic idea is that people will be willing to play games to help computers to gather useful information. What's really interesting is how the games presented build up upon each other. ESP is used to find the words in an image, then further refinement is done through PeekaBoom to find where in the image each part is.

The games can be found here:
