The Effectiveness of 3D Display Cases In The AMS Nest

University of British Columbia. Campus and Community Planning

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of 3D display cases on Sort-It- Out stations in the Alma Mater Society (AMS) Student Nest. Qualitative and quantitative observations of bin users were conducted before and after 3D display cases were installed on the Sort-It-Out station by Pie-R Squared. The sorting behaviour of users was observed by recording the waste stream that was used to dispose of specific waste items and determining if the sorting decision was correct or incorrect. The comfort levels of users were also recorded by observing verbal and body language cues. The findings of this study will be useful in determining if 3D displays improve waste sorting behaviours, and can inform decisions about the signage on sorting stations in the Nest in the future.
