exceptional human computing

power to accurately label images

with descriptive words.

SUMMARY

Limitation

-cannot calculate word-value (because there is no database.)-Website is not completely dynamic (same images, same keywords…)-Lack of real interactive experience (Only one player can be a real user and other players are simulation)

Tradeoff-Had more time to focus on interface design

SUMMARY

SUMMARY

Heuristic evaluation helped my

team discover some of UI design’s

flaws that we did not spot during

usability testing.

When you play SnapIt!, you aren't

just having fun, at the same time,

you are optimizing image search

engines.

Q?
