GWAP is part of the research on human computation that started the reCAPTCHA project. GWAP is a framework which allows researchers to create fun games which generate useful data. fjordaan Wed, 14 May 2008 08:23:30 GMT http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/game-your-way-to-faster-hardware-620666 FunSAT is an online Sudoku-like puzzle that harness human powers of intuition to help develop faster processors. fjordaan Wed, 29 Jul 2009 09:17:23 GMT http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8246463980976635143 Google TechTalks July 26, 2006 ABSTRACT Tasks like image recognition are trivial for humans, but continue to challenge even the most sophisticated computer programs. This talk introduces a paradigm for utilizing human processing power to solve problems that computers cannot yet solve. Traditional approaches to solving such problems focus on improving software. I advocate a novel approach: constructively channel human brainpower using computer games. fjordaan Wed, 14 May 2008 08:17:19 GMT
