“…Existing tools are either oversimplified or too complex for individuals to pick up and play, so we developed a game meeting the opportunity of joining a robust multi-factor waste generation and management model with ease of use and clear, rapid feedback to users. In this educationally-focused tool [64][65][66], students and policymakers may engage with the waste chain of a virtual city, changing model parameters and observing their affect on waste management performance through the use of visible key performance indicators. The game itself is built upon a robustly-defined multi-criteria decision-making problem comprising multiple variables.…”

Broader understanding of waste management has the potential to bring about broad societal change impacting the climate crisis and public health. We present existing waste management tools and commercially-available games involving waste management, highlighting the strengths and opportunities left unaddressed by these tools in educational contexts and planning use cases. A survey motivates the need for enhanced interactive tools providing clear feedback through quick-visibility performance indicators. After identifying an opportunity to build upon highly-detailed multi-criteria simulation tools, we explore the need for easy-to-read performance metrics that will bring to the field of waste management easily identifiable and measurable key performance indicators (KPIs) that vary alongside factors affecting waste management policies. Such metrics are introduced and detailed as part of a unified waste management model. We then develop a representative gamified educational tool based upon this model to be used by students, decision makers planning real-world policies, and the public. This simulator is built upon the Unity Game Engine and emulates waste management techniques and resulting KPIs within the context of a virtual city.

“…With the rise of the Metaverse, game designers are creating more immersive and interactive games that take advantage of the social and creative aspects of virtual worlds. As a result, gamification is becoming more popular in areas such as education, fitness and marketing (Avraamidou et al, 2019; Capellán-Pérez et al, 2019; Oppong-Tawiah et al, 2020; Pappas et al, 2020; Pappas et al, 2022c; Strzebkowski et al, 2018).…”

The revolutionary concepts of the Metaverse and circular economy are poised to reshape the future of society, academia and all business sectors. The Metaverse as a digital realm promises to transform peoples' way of life, while circular economy offers a sustainable and regenerative approach to economic growth. Together, these concepts can be combined to unlock new opportunities, drive innovation and address pressing challenges facing humanity. Within this new era of technological and environmental transformation, understanding the capabilities and potential of the Metaverse intertwined with the circular economy is crucial for individuals and nations alike.

“…At the same time, the students not only acquire knowledge in their fields [14], but also learn in a "serious" fun way [15]. Some serious games can be used as virtual labs where experimentation can take place and based on this digital experience [16] and students can be assessed by their instructors [17]. This way, institutions can lower their operating expenses by limiting the purchases in expensive, specialized equipment since students will be using reusable enabling technology to generate flexible digital and simulated equipment.…”

“…These worlds need not be purely physical. For example, IoT can combine with technologies such as eXtended Reality (XR) to allow individuals to transcend the limitations of the physical, to engage in experiences taking place in dynamic and responsive virtual environments [17], allowing for participants to engage in new and unique experiences in comfort and safety of their own home.…”

Η παρούσα διατριβή αποτελεί μία διαθεματική έρευνα η οποία προσπαθεί να συνδέσει διαφορετικές βαθιές τεχνολογίες (Deep Technologies) σε ένα ολιστικό πλαίσιο με απώτερο σκοπό την επίλυση προβλημάτων σε διάφορα πεδία. Συγκεκριμένα, έχοντας ως βάση την Παιχνιδοποίηση (Gamification) και τις τεχνολογίες της Εκτεταμένης Πραγματικότητας (XR) θα προσπαθήσουμε να συνδυάσουμε τόσο το Διαδίκτυο των Αντικειμένων (IoT) όσο και την Τεχνητή Νοημοσύνη. Στην πρώτη φάση, το Διαδίκτυο των Αντικειμένων θα λειτουργήσει ως είσοδος για την οπτικοποίηση δεδομένων σε πραγματικό χρόνο ενώ στη δεύτερη φάση θα μελετήσουμε τεχνικές δημιουργίας συνθετικών δεδομένων μέσω της ανάπτυξης εικονικών περιβαλλόντων, τα οποία μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν για την εκπαίδευση μοντέλων τεχνητής νοημοσύνης. Επιπλέον, θα εμβαθύνουμε περισσότερο στο εικονικό περιβάλλον που παρέχει η παιχνιδοποίηση συνδυαζόμενο και με εικονικές μηχανές (Virtual Machines) ενώ τέλος, θα επιχειρήσουμε να μελετήσουμε και τον ανθρωποκεντρικό σχεδιασμό εφαρμογών παιχνιδοποίησης σε κατασκευαστικό επίπεδο αλλά και σε επίπεδο έρευνας σε χρήστες με ερωτηματολόγια. Ως απόδειξη της μεταφοράς αυτού του ενιαίου πλαισίου σε διακριτά και διαφορετικά πεδία, σχεδιάστηκαν και αναπτύχθηκαν ερευνητικά εργαλεία που άπτονται των τεχνολογιών των αυτόνομων αυτοκινήτων αλλά και του τομέα της εξ αποστάσεως εκπαίδευσης.
