Designing Plastics Recycling with Virtual Reality

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This demo presents a virtual reality (VR) experience on recycling plastics.Through the interactive, immersive virtual experience, the user can become familiar with the recycling center site and sort a selection of plastic products.The playful experience was designed to refine and evaluate the design of a planned physical recycling station.The interactive prototype served two purposes: first, to encourage recycling behavior and increase familiarity with plastic recycling practices; and second, to gather feedback on the design of the recycling site to optimize user experience and recycling efficiency.
