    instant touchscreen and whiteboard with a wiimote!

    Since the Wiimote can track sources of infrared (IR) light, you can track pens that have an IR led in the tip. By pointing a wiimote at a projection screen or LCD display, you can create very low-cost interactive whiteboards or tablet displays. Since the Wiimote can track upto 4 points, multiple pens can be used.
    I'm am sooo building this.

    No need for a Wii. All you need is the controller and a bluetooth receiver if you don't have a laptop / pc with it already.

    Hey EVP, I think we're going to have a very large order for you...

    Anyone ever play with one of those smart boards? We have one in one of our computer labs. The delay is awful.

    I ask you all to concentrate really hard on the freedom of all being. Its hard not to be very angry it is impossible We have to focus this confusion frustration helplessness feeling into a creative outlet Anger can spawn such amazing creativity through Street art Free art to teach each other know each other a language our evolution Go ahead and break some dumb rules

    Can't wait for that to be practical- meaning built into systems. No hacks.

    It's called Fish Tank VR (look it up for more info).

    This is the kind of stuff I played around with for the last 3 years.
