Final Project Update 1

Thanks to Brian I was able to obtain an Xbox Kinect v1! I also installed the SDK on my laptop computer as well as there is an asset in the Unity store that enables connection from the Kinect into Unity fairly easily. I need to look more into creating custom gestures as the one that comes in the asset does not have the wax on/was off hand motion already.

I also decided to do this project in 3D. The reason is simple, I really enjoy making in Tinkercad. That is where I spent most of my time this week, making 3D trash. The only object I still want to make is a fishing net, but I am having a hard time making something that doesn't just look like a weird flat object. Otherwise I have created a bottle, a cut and uncut 6 pack holder, a newer and more ripped apart plastic bag and 2 coffee cups.
One thing I realized while creating these is that I will have to look into is if it is possible to make items translucent in Unity, to give the plastic items a realistic feel.
