Do it yourself electronic whiteboard

[Bellum]

I suddenly got it into my head that I wanted a whiteboard, so I asked someone how much they might cost. He asked me if I was talking about a regular one or an electronic whiteboard.The idea had completely slipped my mind, but of course I couldn't afford such a thing.

But then I got curious and found this! I'm definitely going to try this out within the next few months. ****ing awesome!

The things people have been able to do with the wiimote are really impressive.

We can only hope that one day someone other than Nintendo picks up the technology and actually does something with it.

I'm sure they've got patents in place to prevent people doing any such thing.

Ok, so at the protest of my pocket I went ahead and did this. Just got it set up. It is ****ing awesome, if anyone was wondering. 

Just to reiterate:

While ignoring this.

Just take that last demonstration, with the moving grid, and put a board game on it.
If you can make a computer game with a moving board and interface, then all you have to do is hook it up to the projector and Wii.

I had to tear the house up looking for that damn cable so I can upload pictures onto my computer. Here's the setup:

Not the best IR pen that's ever been made. I've never made anything like that before before. I think if I have to do it again I'll be able to do a better job of it, though.

Yes, mother.
