There’s an odd synchronicity here with last week’s post about the coin-scavenging-crow training machine. This time it’s a whack-a-mole style video game that you play by dropping glass bottles into the slots when they light up. See it work around 0:40.
In a side note, Volkswagen’s Fun Theory Award is now definitely on my radar. Besides this project, their competition to incentivize socially-useful behaviors by turning them into entertainment also produced the world’s deepest rubbish bin and the subway staircase piano keyboard. [via Hack a Day]
