Gamification as a Key Enabling Technology for Image Sensing and Content Tagging (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractThe advent of mobile phone with a multi-megapixel camera and autouploaders has democratised photography. Taking pictures and acquiring annotations is no longer an expensive task as it used to be. Yet performing these tasks in a systematically way is still very cumbersome for most users.

You'll earn points for each kill, so aim for the high score! (my personal record is 1292 points) IMPORT [...]Keywords : ludum dare, entire game on one screen, experimental gameplay
