Description

According to Wikipedia (10/2013), The ESP Game is an idea in computer science for addressing the problem of creating difficult metadata. The idea behind the game is to use the computational power of humans to perform a task that computers cannot do (originally, image recognition) by packaging the task as a game. It was originally conceived by Luis von Ahn of Carnegie Mellon University. Google bought a licence to create its own version of the game in 2006 in order to return better search results for its online images.[1] The licence of the data acquired by Ahn's ESP Game, or the Google version, is not clear.[clarification needed] Google's version was shut down on September 16, 2011 as part of the Google Labs closure in September 2011.

Purpose.

Tag a large collection of images in order to find out if participants can help create more accurate image searching and accessibility for visually impaired users
