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.
