Video labelling game Waisda? wins prize at EurolTV conference
On 10 June 2010 the video labelling game Waisda? (a Dutch word-play on ‘what is that’) won the Competition Grand Challenge at EurolTV, the number one conference for interactive TV and web video. Waisda? is the world’s first operational video labelling game for audiovisual archives.
The game was developed in May 2009 by the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision together with Dutch public broadcasting organisation KRO. Players of Waisda? add key words (tags) to video material describing what they see and hear. The aim is to increase the searchability of material in audiovisual archives.
