EVE General Discussion

If you look at the gains compared to community census, it doesnt really seems like the "gain or loss" in precision depends on what others see.

But hey, some people see cytoplasma in every cell, others see their precision bound to the census.

Blind players....


Sometimes I have a daydream about taking something like OpenCV, piping the client rendering through it, and making something of a "haptic suit" for blind players so that they can actually play the game without sight. instead of looking at an overview with eyes, they would "feel" the ships around them.

How about that, losing a ship to a blind player. If that ever happened.


But I wear too many hats. And I have a full time job (and one of the last in my circles to have one, a situation that has me buying more rounds of beer at the pub than I could plan on - but this is a happy problem). So there is no time in my life for such a project.

Still I dream. It would suck to be blind. Even worse, it would suck to be blind and not be able to play Eve. If I had my druthers at least one problem could be solved.

You don't need a bachelors degree to recognise patterns in a picture. What you need is a more foolproof gamification.

Idea: Let the players separate patterns in pictures based on fewer choices in several stages: First let players determine if there is more green in the nucleus, outer cell or periphery. Then for those pictures with more green stuff in the nucleus let players decide
what kind of pattern it actually is. Basically group types of classification and make the classification a refinement process.

You can't expect the average player to study every picture for 5 minutes. But you can reduce the choices for classification to a level where the classification can reasonably be done in the time the average player is prepared to spend on a single picture for their reward and therefore achieving more reliable results. It might take more time to classify the 150000 pictures but the quality of the classification will be better.

Please explaim me this -https://i.gyazo.com/12fa22d51d1bcf88c0bb196fa2e132dd.png How can be this the right answer ?!?

You didn't seriously expect people to make an effort, did you?

for some players who are taking a science course irl they would probably find it more interesting and use it as a learning experience.

i only had a quick look at it myself and found it a bit interesting and didnt get to use the interface properly yet. Basically did the training then 2 slides after, so very little experience with it yet. however I wanted to add that there has been a issue with players not looking at things properly for a very long time and even those who are drunk and go on a spending spree to spend a lot more than they expected due to buying items at a much higher markup value.
