Eco Picker makes litter cleanup fun and enhances waste management.
What it does
Eco Picker is an innovative app that turns cleaning up your surroundings into a fun game. Users earn points for collecting different types of trash, with higher scores awarded for more harmful waste. This motivates users to clean up their surroundings while checking their ranking within Eco Picker against other users to enjoy a game-like experience while contributing to the environment.
When a user takes a photo of the garbage they’ve collected, the app uses the Gemini API to identify the item and categorize it into one of six types: plastic, metal, glass, cardboard/paper, food scraps, and others. This helps users understand the environmental impact of their actions.
Eco Picker also features news, events, and educational content on recycling and environmental protection, generated by the Gemini API. While some AI-generated content may still be fabricated, we display it with the expectation that future Gemini API updates will improve accuracy.
Additionally, the Google Maps API is integrated to track and visualize the locations of collected trash, with each item pinned on the map, creating a visual record of users' positive impact.
