Project Information

Carbon Watcher is an approach to visualize the hidden ecological impact of digital technologies. The project explores how digital emissions can be made visible and tangible for digital natives through playful interaction. The final prototype is a gamified hidden object experience set in a dark 3D environment, where users track invisible CO₂ emissions using head tracking and a physical controller. The project combines sustainability communication with immersive interaction design to reduce the gap between perceived and actual digital impact.
