RecyclAR

RecycleAR is a fun little AR game reminiscent of "pokemon go" in which the player must fling the correct type of waste into the correct recycling bins.

The player uses their mobile device to create an area of virtual land and trees on any flat surface, and is then tasked with keeping it alive as litter is constantly being dropped. If the land is left to fill up with rubbish or the incorrect bins are used then the virtual world will slowly degrade and die.

Due to the AR nature of the game it is expected and encouraged for children to walk around their whole room in search of the dropped litter, flinging it into the stationary bins from any angle.

There is no win state however, as taking care of the planet is a necessary and endless struggle, and it is impossible to keep our ecosystem healthy through solely reactive measures. The player will eventually be overrun with litter and experience first-hand how the the climate and land is changed due to excessive waste.
