Abstract

The increasing use of digital cameras and camera phones has changed people's behavior regarding the amount of photos that they make. As a result, growing collections of photos are more and more difficult to understand, search and navigate. Helping users make sense of these collections and create an understanding of the world that they depict has become a challenging task. In this paper, we present the design, implementation and evaluation of the Image Space service, which enables users to capture, browse and contextualize their digital photographs with the aid of a community of other users in a simple and playful way. We report evaluations which indicate that the service was easy and to a lesser degree playful to use.
