RecyclAR is a webAR experience that uses image recognition and targeting to help students identify recyclable materials and learn how to properly dispose of them. Students can scan items using their device’s camera and receive instant feedback on whether the item is recyclable or not, as well as information on what specific parts on a recyclable item make it need to be removed in order to make it into a recyclable condition.

What we Learned

We learned about various features that 8th Wall offers and how to implement them in order to create a webAR experience. We learned about image tracking and designing while accounting for 3D and moveable elements. We became more comfortable with HTML and JavaScript. We also learned how to animate models and how to work with files and various assets.
