Depictor: add structured data to Commons using a game-like interface

Depictor is a new tool for quickly adding structured data statements to images on Wikimedia Commons using a game-like interface. The goal of the tool is to be able to do this on mobile devices as well, so that you can quickly add statements even when you're on a train or waiting at the dentist. Even though the tool has a basic mode there are lots of other powerful options that we'll explore in this session.
