Image Labeler [Sep. 2nd, 2006|07:19 pm]

[Tags|]

The Google Image Labeler is fun/cute/clever. It's a "game" where you and a partner find common tags for images. It's a game in the same way telling a little kid "Let's see how fast you can clean your room!" is a game. But it's still kinda fun for a bit.

My partner and I got this image at one point:



And I immediately add:

graph
nodes
edges

(this is blind to him, other than how many I've added).

My partner hasn't added anything.

Finally he adds one, but it's not a match. A few seconds later and he passes, and it asks me if I want to pass. "WTF?" I think. Okay, I pass. He isn't getting it.

At the end of the game it shows you your partner's failed guesses. What did he guess?

Venn Diagram

Hahahahah.

Really? it doesn't seem to show me unless we match :(

Awesome idea though, very addictive!

hover over the thumbnails to see their guesses.

I can't see failed guesses either. But maybe I'm just dumb.

I don't get it, it just shows a bunch of these weird pictures like this and asks me what word is written in them... why would it do that?

Another possible correct answer

"Sluts" seems almost appropriate, though the other nodes aren't connected enough. Maybe it's a chart from Harvey Mudd or RPI...

Has anyone else tried the original ESP Game, or any of van Ahn's other ideas, like Peekaboom or Phetch?

They seem to have drained a lot of the fun out of this concept by Googlizing the interface. And calling it "Google Image Labeller"... I don't know, it tends to remind the user that they're doing free work for Google.
