Trash Game

Picture of a dumpster filled with trash.

Inspiration

While Penn state is one of the top sustainable colleges, recycling can be a bit of challenge if one doesn't know what material is made of. Therefore, we want to promote an educational AR game that helps people identify the object they want to throw away and put it in the correct bin.

What it does

The game will generate pieces of trash in which the user has to grab the item and place it in the correct bin (recycling and landfill).

How we built it

We implemented Snap's Lens Studio to focus on the AR aspect of the game and Javascript. We implemented models into the system and manipulated it in the scene

Challenges we ran into

Getting used to Lens Studio was a learning curve for everyone.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to be able to learn how to manipulate the objects in the game

What we learned

We learned how to use Snapchat's Lens Studio and experiment with AR technology.

What's next for Trash Game

Learning how to implement a working score system while trying to implement ML so that the machine can give users tips on how to dispose of the waster correctly along with some fun facts about recycling.
