PhotoPlay: A Collocated Collaborative Photo Tagging Game on a Horizontal Display
Nicholas A. Diakopoulos, Patrick Chiu · 2007
We are exploring the use of collaborative games to gener-ate meaningful textual tags for photos. We have designed PhotoPlay to take advantage of the social engagement typi-cal of board games and provide a collocated ludic envi-ronment conducive to the creation of textual tags. We evaluated PhotoPlay and found that it was fun and socially engaging for players. The milieu of the game also facili-tated 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 prefer-ence for playing with personal photos.
