Title:

  • Recycle or Die: A Virtual Reality Application to Encourage Positive Behavior

Organiser/Presenter(s):



Statement:

  • On average Americans throw away seven pounds of trash a day causing the US to make up 30% of the trash in the world. By educating individuals on the ways to properly recycle we can reduce this amount. We present the VR game Recycle or Die where users are forced to recycle. In this game we provide various recyclable and nonrecyclable materials accompanied with information on how to properly recycle these materials. User study results indicate that the game is enjoyable and informs on various items that can and cannot be recycled.
