PhotoPlay: A Collocated Collaborative Photo Tagging Game on a Horizontal Display
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are exploring the use of collaborative games to generate meaningful textual tags for photos. We have designed PhotoPlay to take advantage of the social engagement typical of board games and provide a collocated ludic environment conducive to the creation of text tags. We evaluated PhotoPlay and found that it was fun and socially engaging for players. The milieu of the game also facilitated playing with personal photos, which resulted in more specific tags such as named entities than when playing with randomly selected online photos. Players also had a preference for playing with personal photos.

متن کاملOn Stability, Clarity, and Co-occurrence of Self-Tagging
Most studies on tags focus on collaborative tagging systems where each resource (e.g., article, photo) can be tagged by multiple users with multiple tags. The tag usage patterns in self-tagging systems where a resource (e.g., a blog post) can only be tagged by its owner, however, have not been well studied. From the tags assigned by bloggers to their own blog posts, we obtain interesting insigh...
