Multi-Touch Screen Using Wii Remote

This is a Multi-Touch Screen using a Wii Remote and an InfraRed LED Light Pen. The idea is from Johnny Chung Lee's Wii projects page and I just wanted to see if I could make one. :)

@betuna75 Don't think it would be that easy to incorporate the eHome unit into multitouch applications. You would need to play with a lot of software to get this to work... The wiimote is still the easiest and cheapest option.

Hi I'm just wondering, is there a way to do this from a distance, like with a laser instead?

[Sambora500]

Yeah sure as long as the Wiimote can see the pointer. I have tested an IR Laser module with success...

Awesome video! I might try and make something like this in the holidays when I have time. One thing I want to know though. Do I need to have a wii remote somewhere across the screen so it has to see? where exactly do I put the wii remote? Also, what does the pen do? Does it shine the infra red light onto the screen and reflect into the wii remote's camera? Cheers
