Tasks like image recognition are trivial for humans, but continue to challenge even the most sophisticated computer programs. This thesis introduces a paradigm for utilizing human processing power to solve problems that computers cannot yet solve. Traditional approaches to solving such problems focus on improving software. I advocate a novel approach: constructively channel human brainpower using computer games. For example, the ESP Game, introduced in this thesis, is an enjoyable online
