    Is it compatable for Windows Vista? After connected, the program has an error saying ‘Exception: Wiimote not found in HID device list’

    Wow. Very useful. Now I have my own drawing board. Thanks!

    I’m guessing that such a projector/LCD + Wiimote system isn’t pressure sensitive like actual graphics tablets or whiteboards (are they?), since from what I see, the Wiimote only tracks the approximate X,Y coordinates of the light pens. I still am dying to try this trick though :-) .

    5/5

    “the shadow emitted by the human”.. he has a really black soul, he radiates darkness, that’s what he emits around him

  12. stevic28 on February 1st, 2009 4:53 am

    Only problem with this is the shadow emitted by the human

  13. Blight21590 on February 1st, 2009 4:53 am

    yeah as in
    no surface near by xD
    he was waving the pen in the air
    the wiimote picked it up and bluetoothed it to his macbook
    then that was set up on a projector
    which was being cast on the wall like 20 ft away

    he was just standing and drawing by waving the pen around xD

  16. mrchubner on February 1st, 2009 4:53 am

  19. spiritintheflames on February 1st, 2009 4:53 am

    Once again, that is sweet! I’m so making one!

  20. bthetomato on February 1st, 2009 4:53 am

    idk if that is IR becasue i usall cant see an IR light with the naked eye, but if u look through a camera then u can

  21. bthetomato on February 1st, 2009 4:53 am

    so does that mean i can use one of my remotes??

  22. Nightschop on February 1st, 2009 4:53 am

    Can it work with a laser? Thats also IR?

  23. 6bLOCK on February 1st, 2009 4:53 am

    there is freeware for this XD
    how would he make money?

  24. 6bLOCK on February 1st, 2009 4:53 am

    i think the button just turns it on
    im sure if u rig it so that the button is inside the pen beside it w/ a spring
    and u have to press down for it to turn on
    it would work
    (if ur building your own)

  25. bthetomato on February 1st, 2009 4:53 am
