Wii Remote Hack Part I : Building the light pens

This video was taken at the Trinidad and Tobago Computer Society (TTCS ; http://ttcsweb.org/) tech meeting on Sunday April 20th, 2008.

The meeting was our attempt to try Johnny Chung Lee's project "Low-Cost Multi-point Interactive Whiteboards Using the [Nintendo Wii] Wiimote". Visit Johnny Lee's website at http://www.johnnylee.net/ for more details.

Part I (this video) is a presentation by Mike Tikasingh showing how the infra-red pens were made.

Part II is a presentation by Paul Worswick showing how the Nintendo Wii Remote was connected to a Windows PC wirelessly using Bluetooth. He then showed how to use the infra-red pen to turn a computer screen projected on a wall to create a interactive whiteboard.

Part III shows the practical use of the infra-red pen and the Wiimote to create a interactive whiteboard from the computer screen projected on a wall and then on a computer screen projected on a table.

Thats $150 TT (Trinidad and Tobago dollars). The exchange rate is roughly $6.3 TT to 1 US dollar which works out to about $24 US
