About Me
- Carolina
- I am an undergrad student at the University of Waterloo currently in my third year of Honours Speech Communications and Business with a Human Resource Management specialization minoring in French.
Johnny Chung Lee, the man mentioned that 'invented' this technology, or rather invented this use for the Wiimote technology has made his software available for free on his website here: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/.
ReplyDeleteI was actually just using it the other day using a Wiimote as the IR sensor with the Apple Remote from my Macbook as an IR source. Using the two in conjunction with the WiiWhiteboard software, I was able to create a virtual whiteboard and control my computer's mouse using the Apple Remote to move the mouse and click just by holding it by the projector screen where I wanted the to move and click.
If you have the other hardware already (computer and projector - or another large enough display), to get a Wiimote and high quality IR pen is only about $50, so you can create your own virtual whiteboard for significantly less than what commercial ones are selling for... having already having everything I needed, mine was free!
