## Game of MIB

Tired of endless image segmentation?
We get it — brushing for hours and placing countless annotations can be exhausting. But have you ever stopped to think about just

- how much work you've really done?
- how many kilometers have you "brushed"?
- or how many annotations have you placed?

Introducing The Game of MIB - a fun and motivating way to track your progress as you work! Level up through the MIB tier system, from a padawan to MIB Guru (at Level 10), by simply doing what you do best!
Head over to the Help menu and select "The Game of MIB" to open your personalized stats dialog. See your current score, track your segmentation achievements, and make annotation just a little more fun.

Info

The tracking data is stored on your computer and is not transferred anywhere away.
You can find the tracking file (`mib_user.mat`) at the same location where the mib preference file is stored, see here.
