Pant Arcade

Designing Digital Play, IT University of Copenhagen, 2017. This project details a new design for the Danish recycling system, PANT. The new concept improves upon existing infrastructure by incorporating playful design theory, making PANT machines more fun and rewarding. The new design features a new look and a more colorful and appealing interface. The new design also updates the recycling process itself, adding playful interactions. The recycling process now incorporates an element of choice. Users can take their earnings home, donate them to local charities or spin a prize wheel for a chance at a greater prize. The interaction concludes with raffle tickets—replacing the old receipts—to add further value to the action of play.
