Image by AngryBeth
The Virtual Environments module, ( 1st Year FD Design for Digital Media ) – set a brief where students had to create a prototype experience based around an area from the DirectGov website . The students were advised to focus their projects on the areas of ‘Environment & Greener Living’ or ‘Health and Wellbeing’

Waste and Recycling

This prototype build, focused on Recycling waste. The build was split into two sections.. a recycling building that contained a conveyor belt where you could find out what objects could be recycled as they headed towards the furnace ( in the larger idea – this would be a further developed game element where people would sift objects that could be recycled or not ). The second section was a Rubbish Dump – that explained more of the dangers of badly disposed waste.
