Facestat

Friday, April 18, 2008

We recently posted about a product we made at Dolores Labs called FaceStat. You can upload your photo (or a friends photo) and Turkers will judge it on a number of different dimensions. It started as part of an experiment we blogged about here. It’s kind of like hotornot, but we’re able to ask more interesting questions. I’ve been thinking we might make a version with company logos.

My favorite comment from one of the judges, “It’s amazing how difficult it is to judge people just from looks, and yet we do it every day. “  I’m amazed by the agreement rates were seeing on things like liberal vs conservative.  We’ll end up with a fascinating data set for sociologists.
