Descriptive Camera

Description
-
Descriptive Camera functions like a regular camera, but instead of producing visual images it outputs written descriptions of what it sees. To generate output, the camera takes photographs of a scene and uploads the files to a web service that assigns ‘human intelligence tasks’ to workers from various locations around the world. One of these workers analyses the image and writes a short written description that is then output by a receipt printer built into the camera. Like the process of intelligence analysis, the method of generating output for the Descriptive Camera is opaque and the identity of each analyst is anonymous. Each image can be interpreted in multiple different ways and the unique style of each description highlights the subjective nature of image analysis and interpretation.
