TETRASH
Decrease Trash-Increase Fun
Context
This workshop was created in Japan at Shibaura University and organized to showcase the collaboration between design students in Asia. The topic is to integrate technology into Japanese daily life. To promote the blend between people's behaviors and advances in technology. By showing how technology can benefit people's everyday lives.
Project Detail
Field research/ User research/ Ideate/ Prototyping
Find scope for the project
My team and I explored the Japanese lifestyle in various places, including the abundance of people, for example, shopping malls, exhibitions, or even walking around the streets. From the survey, we found many exciting things. But what caught our eye the most was the rubbish that would be found on the floor or in the corridor. Although many trash bins are nearby, the street is still full of trash.
Design Solution Summary
It was found that littering in the wrong place often occurs in crowded areas. We, therefore, decided to scope down the solution in the exhibition area. Or a special event was being held because it has the highest chance of encountering a garbage problem, then brainstorming to find a solution.
We started by making a comparison of current solutions and then began to come up with ideas for solving problems. Through the creation of gimmicks for the trash to attract more people interested in disposing of waste to the right place, it can gather interesting and be possible ideas to create a usage scenario.
Final Design
When the festival was held, attendees would be given a box for each person to carry their trash while walking around. Where on the box will appear in the puzzle used to play the game? Whenever someone drops a trash box into the bin, the Trash screen will display a sequence of puzzles based on the boxes people dropped
The selling point of "Tetrash" is a new, fun experience of a trash can at the festival. A digital monitor with a Tetrash game of a trash can and its use in the event period will attract people to come and play around with our trash can.
