Jongchul Kim has designed many interesting creations, but here is another gadget that will blow your mind away. The Mint-pass Rubbish Can is a trashcan that can detect how large the size of garbage you want to throw away, and makes an appropriate sized opening for it.
Using infrared sensors, Jongchul Kim's Mint-pass Rubbish Can also allows people to view how full the trash can is by viewing the gradual change in color (on the exterior of the bin).
