Saving that squirrel: An augmented-reality game

 Saving that squirrel

Description:
Many city animals, such as squirrels, enjoy eating through trash cans. Many trashes, on the other hand, can endanger their lives. It is critical that we recycle our trash in order to protect the environment. Our augmented reality mobile game aims to educate and empower people about the importance of recycling and how to recycle properly. Our game works by projecting augmented reality visualizations on a squirrel and trash cans in the users' physical environment. The user will then be instructed to recycle trash to various recycling bins. Following that, users will receive feedback on their selection. The squirrel will smile if they recycle their trash correctly. They will be shown a recycling instruction if they recycle trash incorrectly.
