Artists who make videos, graphics, stickers, tshirts, video games, VR, AR, XR, or use the Cricut, Silhouette, or hand cut vinyl, stencil, or airbrush design, and want to collaborate with others instead of making everything themselves from scratch.

We want people to recycle their trash into art as gifts and collectibles, one of a kind, DIY artwork. By sharing the graphics, it triggers animations for anyone using the CC Attribution imagery and supports creativity.

The recycle symbol is universally recognized, making it a powerful choice as an AR target. The fact that it represents sustainability and environmental consciousness adds depth to the AR experiences we can build upon it. Here's a step-by-step guide on creating an interactive AR media experience using the recycle symbol:

**1. AR Target Setup:**

* Choose a well-defined recycle symbol.

* Ensure it has clear contrast and distinct features for the AR software to recognize easily.

* Use an AR development platform compatible with Unreal Engine, such as ARKit or ARCore, to set the recycle symbol as your AR target. Or use BlippAr, SparkAR, Adobe Aero etc.

**2. 2D Elements:**

* **Interactive Panels:** Overlay interactive 2D panels on the recycle symbol that users can tap on to learn more about recycling facts, tips, or myths.

* **Animated Graphics:** Create animated 2D infographics that spring to life when the AR target is detected, visually explaining the recycling process or showcasing the benefits of recycling.

**3. 3D Elements:**

* **3D Objects:** Introduce 3D objects like a rotating Earth, showing areas positively impacted by recycling. This provides a spatial and immersive experience.

* **Pop-Up Scenes:** Imagine a miniature 3D cityscape rising from the recycle symbol, where each building represents a facet of the recycling industry. Users can tap on each to delve deeper.

**4. Motion Graphics & VFX:**

* **Transformation Scenes:** Visualize the recycling process using motion graphics. For example, show a plastic bottle melting, reshaping, and emerging as a new product.

* **Particle Effects:** Add VFX like floating green leaves or radiant glows to highlight the recycle symbol, emphasizing its importance and enhancing the visual appeal.

**5. Marketing Initiatives for Exposure:**

* **Social Media Campaigns:** Share teasers of the AR experience on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Use hashtags #RecycleAR or #SuperFreshSustainability to trend and reach a wider audience.

* **Collaborations:** Partner with eco-conscious influencers or environmental NGOs to showcase the AR experience and gain credibility among their followers.

* **Local Initiatives:** Organize community events or school workshops to demonstrate the AR experience, educating while entertaining.
