Put together by modder FRP and dubbed the Smart Trashbox, this trash can uses the Kinect to track garbage thrown mid-air and moves to the location in order to catch it, ensuring that you will never miss another “free throw” again. Granted it is something of a novelty, but we can’t help but gush at how cool and how precise his creation is! Anyway we’ll let the video do the talking, so be sure to check it out above.
