Improving waste collection during the UT Kick-In through gamification

At: University of Twente

The goal of the thesis is to solve the problem of new students leaving trash on campus during the introduction week. The solution is a tracker that counts the number of waste items thrown into the trash cans and gives positive feedback in the form of sound and visuals. The count is displayed as a score for students to see, along with an animation of the campus being cleaned up bit by bit. This should motivate users to use the provided waste bins instead of leaving their trash on the ground.
