SImplehuman, a California-based brand that specializes in bath, beauty and kitchen tools, released a smart garbage can a few years back that was opened when it sensed movement in front of it.
For CES 2017, Simplehuman is gearing up to take its technology a step further. Rather than activating by sensing movement, the smart garbage cans will be opened with a voice command. With this, Simplehuman's product makes life a little easier for consumers, taking away the often messy hassle of opening and closing waste containers.
Those interested in learning more about the smart garbage cans can get the first look at CES 2017 in Las Vegas, where Simplehuman will have a booth set up to show off its innovative product's features.
