ani_meher 42 Report post Posted February 22, 2011 We are having a photography competition in office. There are around 50 persons. Everyone will submit a photo, and then on a sunday, we will gather for judging the photos. The photos will be presented on a projector one by one. This will be looped twice, so that people first see all the photos and then will evaluate each photo based on 3 criteria: 1. Title 2. Theme 3. Clarity Scale from 1-5, 1 worst, 5 best. So there will be 50 people x 50 photos x 3 responses = 7500 data points! My question is, what will be the best way to translate these given marks in computer? We don't have 50 machines, so people can't use online system. It has to be a physical system like marking on a paper. But then it takes a lot of time for inputting the data from paper to machine. Any better way to do it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
confused_follower 12 Report post Posted February 22, 2011 Just ask everyone to make a total of all 3 scores at the bottom of the sheet. This will reduce your work to 1/3rd. Not a great reduction but hope to give a thinking direction to the discussion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ani_meher 42 Report post Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the ideas guys. manishag, that's one terrific idea really. I will try it on my 6800/Palm 755p first. If it works, then my work is very much decreased. Thanks man! EDIT: I have a idea net setter card too. Can I use that to directly receive sms on computer?

ashoksoft 83 Report post Posted February 22, 2011 most people own smartphones now a days capable of accessing the internet. Upload a simple DB driven form online - rating each photo from each person the overall code needed to execute this should be minimal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ani_meher 42 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 @rajanmehta: Thanks for reminding the fan topic friend Updated it. I am going on a Kerala tour in next month, so I will definitely come up with a triplog of that. Meanwhile I will keep on posting logs of my smaller rides. Nice to hear that you still remember it! Guess this comma seperated SMS may be too advanced (!) to some people office, and we may have to stick to good old pen paper. The office peon is not going to like it! He is the one who is going to transfer all the marks from individual paper to computer for further calculations. I have one additional question. We will be displaying each photo for 10 seconds. Is there any way I can display a countdown timer of remaining seconds to go before next photo is shown? So the countdown timer should loop 50 times, counting down to 10 seconds every time, and resetting when next photo is presented. Any software that allows me to do this directly, or will I need some jugaad combining 2-3 softwares? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ani_meher 42 Report post Posted February 26, 2011 @csmart: Displaying the slides can be done by imaging software as well, like irfan view or Picasa. But can a timer be displayed on top of each photo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
