□What is the FLOAT app?
Due to the impact of COVID-19, a different approach is necessary from group field activities. The app "FLOAT" created this time aims to make more people aware of the word "River Litter". In the current version, we have modeled four rivers around the world, including the Arakawa River. In the app, a large amount of river litter deposited on the riverbed and floating artificial litter will constantly flow. Efficiently collecting them will bring out fish species unique to that river. In addition, we have set up a mechanism to collect and visualize litter from the actual river (currently targeting the Arakawa River) by generating activity funds from user video ad viewing and payments. The results will be reported on a special website.



Location
AO-AKA PARK (Ajipanda Square)
