Wii Remote Digital Whiteboard

Johnny Lee from CMU shows off a low-cost digital whiteboard built from a WiiMote and a pen with an infrared tip.

I so want this (hint, hint, readers looking for a Christmas present ;) ). Also, if I was still on-site, I’d absolutely volunteer to build one of these for Mozilla :)

(Thanks for the Link, Kai!)

  1. Well I’ll give it a try. But I’m still unsure if I’ll purchase jsut the wiimote or the entire Wii. Anyways I’ll let you play with the whiteboard as soon as it is working :)

  2. Awesome — I am going to pick you up on that offer. I will totally step by and try it out :)

  3. That is pretty fantastic. I think I’ve sent this link to about 15 people already and I’m thinking of leaving work early to go build one..

  4. Oooh I so want one of these. Just need to get my tech skills uptodate and I’ll be hacking my wii to pieces – not sure my seven year old will be impressed but hey we all need to make sacrifices

  5. Hah, yes, I really want one too. Sure, Mike, your child may not like that. But tell him it’s science, then he’ll understand. (or not ;) )

  6. That’s amazing! I know just who I’m going to send this video to.

    Now, what do I have to do to get my Wii remote to hit straighter drives? ;)
