Educating Young Children through AN interactive Digital Game at Melbourne Zoo
One of the leading causes of wildlife injury in the oceans around Australia is ocean plastics. The Melbourne Zoo promotes a strong yet simple message to their 1000’s of daily visitors; at your next outdoor party blow bubbles, not balloons. This outdoor summer activation used machine-learning driven computer vision and web-technologies to engage users with this message. Visitors from the age of 3 upwards are rewarded with sprays of real bubbles when they successfully bin all the balloons on the screen.
This project was a collaboration between the University of Technology, Sydney (Rapido), Downer, and Sydney Trains. Hamish (contracting to UTS), was the lead UX and UI Designer for the operational component of the system.
