Fun with wiimote, panoramas, and the wall for a whiteboard

Inspired by Johnny Chung Lee's wii projects, this is my recent experiment with a wiimote used to make a really cheap electronic whiteboard. Total cost (excluding the projector) was about $40, and most of that was for the wiimote. Software used was wmgui, gtkwhiteboard, and my own polyhedral panorama projection software.

I think I need to make a better pen. I am assuming my infrared led is too narrow, and too weak, and is making the input quite jagged.

(sorry for the bad audio in second half!)
