DESIGN POSTER
PHYSICAL PROTOTYPE:
User View:Users can either scan their phone through the NFC scanner on the left to keep track of personal analytics, or simply throw in their items. Their waste breakdown along with their singular impact, points earned, and information to learn more will be displayed on the screen as well as their app.

Screen View Between Visits:Screen View After Visit: |
Inner ViewThrough AI camera image recognition, a conveyor belt, and a pushing mechanism, we are able to stagger waste retrieval and accurately sort out different materials and items into 3 internal bins - compost, recycling, and trash. Part of the bin, as shown above, is transparent to help users to visualize how their waste is correctly disposed of.

USER APP PROTOTYPE: |
MANAGEMENT APP PROTOTYPE: |
The RightCycle app is optional for users; it is not needed to use the bin. However, we intend to provide more accessible educational opportunities and easier care of the bins by providing this compatible app. Recognizing that RightCycle has two main interest groups, the everyday users (ex. people who visit public parks) and those in waste management (ex. park services who implement our product), we created two Figma prototypes to display the supporting features that pertain to each group. Both app prototypes show one of our key features, the map of nearby RightCycle bins. For users, the additional elements display their individual history and overall impact using RightCycle, information about where their waste ends up and resources for waste management, and an interactive game to earn points towards rewards through correctly sorting images of their items. For those in waste management, we provide is a localized interface that shows the capacity levels in different sections of a single bin and send notifications when the bins are in need of taking out from our internal laser sensor to detect capacity level as well as our AI algorithm.
