Wiimote Whiteboard | uweschmidt.org
This program allows you to use the Wii Remote (Wiimote) to turn any surface into a Low-Cost Interactive Whiteboard. It is based on Johnny Lee's original WiimoteWhiteboard program that is written in C# and available for Windows only. My program uses Java to allow for (some) platform-independence. I also provide a Mac-only version since I'm a Mac user and this is, up to my knowledge, currently the only such program for the Mac.
An enhanced version of Johnny's software (for Windows only), called Wiimote Smoothboard, has been developed by Boon Jin. There is also a SourceForge project that provides other implementations of Johnny's program, but it is not getting much attention.
Wiimote Whiteboard
I am setting up this page just as information placeholders for educators and other folks interested in using the Mac as an el cheapo smartboard. As the software/hardware needed to do the job seem to be all over the web, I thought that my educators might wish to have all the links and information in one location.
It is important to note that I am NOT the developer of the software, nor the clever people who figured things out. I am merely gathering information as I experiment and putting them here for everyone’s convenience.
What you need to make things work:
1.
1. Any current Mac with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, and preferably with built-in bluetooth
2.
2.A standard-issue, plain-jane Nintendo Wii remote control (just the remote; the console is for you to play on AFTER the class :-) )
3.
3.An infrared pen
4.
4.wiimote-whiteboard software available here
5.
5.Any software for drawing on screen. I use DeskDoodle myself.
