whatmodel!: a card game played with the traffic outside
An iPhone game that identifies cars from photos and turns them into collectible cards.
Field notes
The project describes a photo-based recognition loop that converts a street car into a sticker-like collectible, records where it was found, and places it in a shared 800-card Cardex. Cards remain silhouettes until discovered, while rarity ranges from Common to Mythic; the page says a Mythic is worth forty ordinary cars. It also describes twelve medals, weekly quests, and three undisclosed medal conditions. The homepage presents the product as an iPhone beta rather than demonstrating the app directly.
