DESCRIPTION
Crowdsourcing is not a new method by any measure but what is often unrealized about this method is it’s genesis…gamification. Crowdsourcing was born from gamification and has continued the legacy with its core fundamentals of enlisting the crowd to participate or play the game and compete to win the ultimate measure of achievement. From NASA to tennis shoes, the engagement is a game. I’ll present some of the history as well as some of the more contemporary ways in which the crowd is enlisted to participate in some of today’s leading research and development.
