IR pen goes commercial
It had to happen, someone has finally mass produced the IR pen so that you can use your Wiimote as an interactive whiteboard. You can buy an IR pen from http://penteractive.us/ for about $8. I sure hope Johnny Chung Lee is getting a cut of this action. Of course if you want to make your own then read my blog posting about making your own IR pen.
Penteractive also sell stands, which makes setting up the Wiimote whiteboard so much easier! Speaking of which, check out IDEO’s multitouch system (at code.google.com) which also supports the Wiimote and IR pen interaction.
I am excited about all this because it makes a Mingle projected story wall so much easier to setup and interact with.
Since you have known about this wiimote whiteboard, I believe it’s probably worth checking Smoothboard at http://www.smoothboard.net on its latest autoconnect mode.
Cheers!
