Multi-Point Interactive Whiteboard Using the Wiimote
There isn’t a conversation in our studio that doesn’t take place using a whiteboard. While the reasons for that are fodder for another post, or perhaps a group therapy session, this new interactive whiteboard concept certainly caught my eye.
Johnny Chung Lee, an HCI Researcher at Carnegie Mellon, recently posted some information on a low-cost, multi-point interactive whiteboard that he created using the Wiimote.
His system used the Wiimote to capture movement of an IR-emitting pen device. The Wiimote tracks and relays the information back to a PC. Any surface can be used, including a wall, table top or even your laptop screen. If you use two IR pens, you can even do multipoint manipulation. The video shows it all and you can download the software free from his site.
You may recall that Johnny is the one who wowed us with his hack to utilize the Wiimote to track your finger movements, al la “Minority Report” interaction.
