"Trash box entering arbitrarily" demonstration movie - YouTube


A trash box predicts with the sensor (Kinect) on the wall surface where falling point of paper waste thrown and it runs, runs and catches. According to Mr. Minoru Kurata who produced it, machine power is needed to calculate the falling point, so it will be better to do it on the desktop PC than the notebook PC. In the venue, we demonstrated using a notebook PC, so there were cases in which I missed the falling point. The reason for the award is "It is interesting that there are times when garbage enters if there is a case, and the garbage box itself that moves toward the falling point is entertainment" and it is evaluated including this point It is.

The background to production and the state of being actually made up and working on tests are included in the following movies.
