Smart circular waste management system combining AI behavioral nudging with ergonomic home sorting aesthetics.
Gido addresses the "Ability Gap" in recycling behavior by acting as an active facilitator rather than a passive sign. By providing immediate audiovisual feedback, the system guides users to correct sorting decisions in real-time.
Validation Metrics (A/B Testing):
We validated the concept through rigorous "Wizard of Oz" testing, measuring significant behavioral improvements:
• Error Reduction: Decreased sorting errors by 69% (from 4.0 to 1.25 errors per session).
• User Acceptance: Users accepted a 300% increase in interaction time in exchange for cognitive certainty.
The design combines physical ergonomics with digital intelligence to eliminate uncertainty in sustainability decisions. Visualized using AI rendering and Affinity Photo.
