Active Capture and Folk Computing
Ana Ramírez, Marc Davis · 2004
The domains of folk computing applications touch on areas of interest to people around the world but are of pressing need to those in the developing world who often lack access to basic services and rights: espe-cially health care, education, nutrition, and protection of human rights. In this paper we describe how a new paradigm for media capture, called Active Capture [3-5], and toolkit support for creating applications of this type work toward supporting the development of multimedia applications and interfaces for folk computing.
