While
digital photos have become an integral part
of our lives, collections of digital photos are difficult for many
people to manage. This difficulty stems from a number of factors:
- People
tend to take lots of digital photos, because they cost practically
nothing to shoot.
- It’s
difficult and inconvenient to classify photos by hand at the time
of capture due to interface limitations.
- Photos
usually exist on computers with cryptic alphanumeric names that
bear little resemblance to their content.
Addressing
this issue is essential since digital photographs represent an important
way people communicate with one another across distances and across
generations. Without effective ways to sort, filter, and organize
digital photographs, this rich source of information has little
value.
PhotoCat
attempts to solve this problem with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface
for managing camera-phone photos by means of their metadata. View
