Virtual Reality Games in Promoting Waste-Sorting Behaviour

Virtual reality is a rapidly expanding topic, both in terms of technological advances and the domains of its applications – also in promoting pro-environmental behaviours or increasing environmental awareness. This study aims to present the research procedure that could enable a comparison of immersive virtual reality and desktop games concerning promoting waste-sorting behaviour in terms of their effectiveness with the use of cognitive neuroscience techniques. The article provides a contribution to the field of waste management by proposing a methodology for investigating the most effective ways of promoting waste-sorting behaviour. While there are some limitations to this approach, the potential benefits can be significant.
