Und wieder habe ich ein Video gefunden:


Using infrared (IR) light pens and the Wii Remote, it is possible to create very low-cost multi-point interactive whiteboards and multi-point tablet displays. Johnny Chung Lee, Carnegie Mellon University. The software can be downloaded at johnnylee.net

    i really dont think it wil work cuz the Eye toy cam really sucks & wont accepts IR light & the communication to the Pc wont work because the programm is written for a WiiMote.
    Im working on one of these things myself^^
    but why not buying a Wiimote its about 20€/$

    @Argol228 srry my English isn’t good but, i though the same and i noticed (in my imagination) that it wont be so easy cause when you pass ur hand or fingers on the screen or what ever it is, wiimote will considerate it as a clic, in this case it just react when the led is on (click), off(nothing).

    It make work using tracking ur fingers if is in 3D so it could know when are u trying to or not to touch the stuff(like moving a folder and not moving something else in desk).

    Correct me if im wrong.

    @USmilitaryfan I think they give off some infrared light.

  11. GohBoonJin says:

    You can use Smoothboard to automatically connect your Wiimote. Just launch the software and press 1 and 2 buttons simultaneously

  12. USmilitaryfan says:

    why do you have to use a LCD TV, and not any other TV/Monitor? (he only mentioned a liquid crystal display).

  13. Argol228 says:

    after watching these vids it occured to me. couldn’t you set it up so you could use the white board method with the finger tracking so you could create a system where you could interact with your pc using only finger motion. though I suppose you won’t have the use of mouse buttons.
