Wiimote Whiteboard Test

I was reading about some software that lets you use a wii remote & an IR light pen as a sort of poor man's smartboard. You can use it to add tablet PC capability to a regular LCD screen, or project a screen onto a wall and use the whole wall as a giant touchscreen. You can download the necessary software here.

Here is my quick test of concept using my MBP, a DVD remote for the IR LED, and a wii remote:







This second video shows the original software's developer demonstrating the possibilities for this fun & useful concept:







There you have it. If you are already using this wiimote whiteboard in an interesting way share it with us in the comments below.
