Mitofik: I've considered it, but it's also hard to get the computer to ID each individual IR light.

Ezunit1991: It's call MapTool

Incredible Projector, do you have information on how to intergrate the Wii-mote? I currently am using maptool with a projector and looking to incorporate the LoS and lighting effects from Maptool

[TyrenDes]

@squallgoku Hey! All I did was get Johnny Chan's wiimote whiteboard app. A bluetooth adapter and hooked it up. Nothing really fancy.

Hello, I'm too stupid to take the 3 seconds to read your video info so can you tell me where you got this table? /sarcasm

[TyrenDes]

I built it myself.

[mandm0821]

TyrenDes one how much did this cost

two were did you get it

and three how long did it take to set every thing up?

[TyrenDes]

2 first... I built it

1, all the parts were abotu $1000, but I could do it cheaper now

3 We did it over a few weeks, during our free time. (My blog has more details...)

[superknife24]

can you do a tutorial series on how to do this? PRETTY PLEASE!!!

[vandogar]

inspiring.

[Ezunit1991]

what program aru u using? that program would make dming so much better

[mitofik]

now you need to craft IR figs - make a hole big enough to put small diode and battery inside (preferably with some switch/button on the outside to turn it on/off) which would be damn hard to do ;) or put each figure on custom made stand. other option is to simply glue it to the fig but that wouldn't look neat.. a halfling rogue with an IR backpack:P

its a pity wiimote can track only 4 points simultaneously..

Holy shit man.... That is awesome. Shawnee told me about it, but I didn't think it would be that computer integrated. How much?

[vention4wh]

Awesome!!!

I used to run a D&D game with a top down projector system. That was about 2 years ago. I got diverted to other things, mainly getting ready for what looks like a second great depression headed our way. Now that I'm ready though I dug out all my D&D stuff, fired up the old projector and since I saw this video, I bought a wimote kit and hooked it up. My first game is Saturday. Should be fun. Thanks for this video. I wouldn't have even heard of the wimote without it.

LoL to Mountain Dew dude from the original 8-bit reference!

You should sell the idea to wizards of the coast. You could make a lot of money.
