About This Game
Mosquito Popper applies the GWAP (Games With A Purpose) model to a real scientific problem: the segmentation and labeling of three-dimensional human body scan data, which is critical for medical research but time-consuming to produce manually. The game routes the attention of ordinary players toward generating accurate segmentation data through gameplay, converting entertainment hours into labeled datasets. The mosquitoes are a conceit. The data is real.
