What makes the difference

Different experiences.
A shared approach.

Choose an objective, put participants in a realistic situation, then guide their decisions: your team stays in control of the learning process.

01 / CHOOSE

The right objective.
The right experience.

A sorting workshop, a journey through organic waste or staff training: start with your learning needs to choose the right experience.

02 / PRACTISE

Learn by making
decisions.

Sort a waste item, explore composting or direct incoming waste at a recycling centre: each situation gives facilitators and trainers a practical basis for discussion.

03 / SHARE

One headset.
A whole group taking part.

In the Waste Sorting Challenge, a spectator screen lets people around the headset follow the session. The facilitator can invite their answers and turn the experience into a group discussion.

04 / PREPARE

An administration portal
for your teams.

Access your experiences and settings, prepare sorting guidelines and view results from recorded sessions. Available features depend on your configuration.

Two ways to work together

Your needs shape the solution.

For regular activities

Equip my team

Bring RecyclageVR experiences into your workshops, visits and training courses. Give your facilitators a resource they can use throughout their activities.

  • Experiences and devices suited to your needs
  • Compatible equipment selected with you
  • Licences, onboarding and subscription detailed in your proposal

For a one-off event

Organise an event

Plan an awareness day, trade show or public event. We review the format and delivery options with our partners.

  • A workshop suited to your audience
  • A choice of devices and experiences
  • Arrangements confirmed according to location, date and availability

Your administration portal

Your guidelines and results, in one place.

Prepare your experiences, choose waste items and adapt their containers to local rules. After each session, view game results and identify the items that caused difficulty.

Your questions

Plan your project with ease.

The format is built around your audiences, your guidelines and how often you plan to use it.

Does RecyclageVR include several experiences?

Yes. The Waste Sorting Challenge, The Compost Adventure and Recycling Centre Staff Training meet different objectives. We help you choose the experiences and devices suited to your needs, together with their licensing terms.

Can we use our own sorting guidelines?

Yes. The Waste Sorting Challenge lets you configure waste items, containers and their colours to match your guidelines. Specific requirements are reviewed when planning your project.

Is a VR headset required?

The Waste Sorting Challenge is also available on touchscreens, so participants can take part without a headset. The Compost Adventure and Recycling Centre Staff Training use virtual reality.

Can our own teams run the workshops?

Yes. RecyclageVR is used by facilitation teams and on educational visitor trails. Together, we define the applications, equipment and onboarding suited to your needs.

How can people without a headset take part?

The Viewer displays a Waste Sorting Challenge VR session on a screen. The facilitator can invite the group to suggest answers and explain their choices. The screen, compatible equipment, connection and positioning should be planned when preparing your setup or event.

What budget and licensing terms should we expect?

The budget depends on the applications, equipment, duration and services selected. Your proposal specifies the licences, included services and renewal terms.
