In 2004, the Olympic Summer Games returned to its original setting - Athens, Greece. In recent years, the Olympic Games have undergone much scrutiny for their inconsistency in administering judged events. Sports such as diving, synchronized swimming, gymnastics, and ice-skating have all had their share of controversy regarding scoring procedures and the ultimate awarding of medals. Resolving this problem is essential to the integrity of judged Olympic events.

The challenge for the CHI 2004 Student Design Competition was to include audience participation in scoring the gymnastics and diving competitions in Athens.

Ivo won first place at the Computer/Human Interaction 2004 Student Design Competition. A .pdf of the winning paper is available here.
