Wiimote Smart/Whiteboard

My younger brother passed this along...thought some others here might appreciate or be able to apply it. There's about 1 minute 30 seconds of "tech talk" at the front and then he starts to actually show the application. The great thing about it is that you have the whiteboard capability and the "smartboard" capability to save what you wrote on the "board."

Thought it was pretty cool!!

I thought so too...little bro is going to have to set one of these up for me when I get my own classroom (hopefully) next year!! This guy, Johnny Chung Lee, actually has a bunch of nifty things he's been able to do with the wiimote. He's looking into marketing and mass producing them so people can just buy the wii plus his add-on and they'll be good to go.

LOL...if he can figure it out, I'll pass it along. He seemed pretty confident that he could, but that may be because he thought I'd forget about it in a year and a half. Sorry buddy, probably not!

Here's the mac version of the software...

(Wii, wiimote and LED light pen not included)
