Ingenuity Defined: Wiimote Hacks by Johnny Lee

Watching YouTube has never been so promising…

Imagine what you can do with your existing Wii remote…

Johnny Lee from CMU was invited to talk for TED (http://www.ted.com) about his innovation on the Wii Remote. He used the Wiimote to create a digital whiteboard where you can use an infrared pen to write on it as you would write on a whiteboard or tablet PC. He also used it as a means for creating a touchscreen and a head-mounted 3D viewer. See the YouTube video below.

I haven’t tried it myself yet, but the information and software are available on his website. Visit http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/245 for the video as hosted by TED. Also on the link (for those interested to try it out or to know more about the speaker) is a link to his biography and other useful information and links.
