Since the Wiimote can track sources of infrared (IR) light, you can track pens that have an IR led in the tip. By pointing a wiimote at a projection screen or LCD display, you can create very low-cost interactive whiteboards or tablet displays. Since the Wiimote can track upto 4 points, multiple pens can be used.
When updates are made to the software, I'll post them here on this blog.

Hi Johnny,
Just came across your Wiimote projects and I think what you have done is awesome!
One question though:
You said that the Wiimote can track up to 4 points, but in your finger interaction video it seems like the Wii was tracking more than 4 points. Can you explain that?
Ah my bad...it does seem like the Wiimote can track only 4 points.
But if you connect another Wiimote to the PC could you have upto 8 contact points?
Dude, thank you so much for this! I was seriously about to go out and buy a $2500 tablet mac (The Modbook) but I saw your website. PLEASE continue to work on the mac version, I cannot wait!!!!
thanks this is really cool that you can help bring tech like microsoft surface and http://www.perceptivepixel.com/ to people who cant afford ultra highend tech stuff. Keep it up.
That is what I need for editing in Final Cut Pro, Motion, and all of my Pro apps.
Please release the mac version soon. I haven't been this stoked about technology in a long time.
Works like a charm! Thanks!
WOW! this is really sweet! I can't wait to have this on on a mac! And if not, I'd buy a PC (yeah! it's that cool of an App!) Awesome job, Johnny. Keep up the great creativity you have and ... please don't procrastineer too long :-)
Phantastic stuff!
Thanks so much for sharing this really cool application!
Hi Johnny,
I have found your project today and had to check it out after I came home. I have connected my Wiimote to my computer and started your app. Everything went well but because I having not such a pen I have used my IR remote of my receiver. But the problem there is that it "blinks" to fast and you cannot "portion" the signal. But I have to get such a pen soon and then play around with this.
So thanks a lot for such a great invention!
Greets,
Adam
Johnny,
Windows Mobile devices typically have an IR port on the side. Is it possible that a WM device could function in the same fashion providing coordinates to handle the same functionality?
Or is that a different type of IR port?
Thanks and take care.
Hi Johnny,
thanks for this wonderful idea. Please release the Mac version of the software soon, as soon as it is available, I will instantly buy a Wiimote :)
Btw, have you already thought about using multiple Wiimotes for creating a spatial experience?
Hi,
I'm not so good on the IR-pen part.
Anyone who can help me?
The IR pen is really very very basic electronics
a.) Take this: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062565&cp=&sr=1&origkw=infrared+led&kw=infrared+led&parentPage=search
b.) Attach a standard isolated wire to each of the pins of the LED (if you want to do it really properly you could use some sort of connector or solder it on the LED, however just wrapping it around the pins will be completely sufficient).
c.) Take this: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062546&cp=&sr=1&origkw=momentary+switch&kw=momentary+switch&parentPage=search
d.) Cut one of the wires attached to the LED in half and attach each part to one of the pins of the switch.
e.) Take this: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102736&cp=&sr=1&origkw=aaa+battery+connector&kw=aaa+battery+connector&parentPage=search
f.) Attach the wire that comes from the switch and the one that comes directly from the LED to the battery holder.
g.) Buy some AAA batteries, put them in holder et voilà: You're done!
This doesn't cover the pen casing, but I think you can figure out how to do that one by yourself.
does not seem to work with windows vista, laptop does see the wiimote but the whiteboard program keeps saying error communicateing is wiimote attached and the program closes out. i tried other wiimote programs and they work so it seems the whiteboard program not vista compatible.
I have it up and running well on windows vista home premium. i did originally have that same error communicating, i think the wiimote wasnt staying connected properly. the problem went away however when i switched from the windows bluetooth drivers to the proprietary drivers that came with my bluetooth dongle. im using the Azio dongle which came with the Toshiba drivers.
Anyone have any idea how this would react to an infrared laser? Would the straight line going from the laser to the surface interfere too much, or would it be possible to control this with a laser from a distance?
I love your interactive wiiboard! I want to do this! I live in Maine and am part of the MLTI program. Every student in our middle school has their own iBook. We recently purchased 2 wiis for the students to use as well. So I have 8 wii remotes that I would absolutely love to set up with our projectors to make interactive white boards. (I'll test out your mac code for you.) Our school can not afford 8 white boards. We currently have one mimio board. You will make a lot of kids and teachers pretty happy… Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
I just wanna say thank you, so thank you :)
I'm not a hardware person at all, but I was wondering if it's possible to create an IR pen which lights up when you touch the pen on a surface. Currently you have to press the button to light it up but it would be better if it lit up when it touched the surface.
Is it possible to create something like that? I think it is essential that the IR emitter be at the tip of the pen right?
You would have to use some sort of pressure sensor to achieve this behaviour. I think somwehere on this blog I've read that someone has already done something in that direction.
Thanks so much for this! I too, like QH, work in Maine under the MLTI program. We do have a few boards floating around our school, but they are usually always booked. Having this program for Mac will be great...looking forward to it.
Thanks again!
Question. Does the Wiimote "see" the IR LED or does it "see" the reflection off the screen of the IR?
This is insanely awesome! I couldn't get it to work under Parallels, though, so I'm really looking forwards to a Mac version! If one comes out, I'll definitely donate!
I don't have a Wiimote yet so I can't test it out, but does this system have support for right click?
Hi Johnny !
Do you think it's possible to use a webcam without the IR filter ?
And can we use 2 webcams for an higher precision ?
This is truly amazing software. I can't wait until a mac version comes up. Great Job!
Do you have plans to be able to use multiple wii remotes, and multiple displays?
I like your blog . They are really great. Ermunterung ++ .please pay a return visit to my blog .thank you.

Hi Johnny,
I cant't really help you, sinse I'm a designer, but have you tried to use a digital tablet's pen other than just a regular pen with a button?
That way you don't need to press the button, just touch the tip of the pen.
Hey, I have been watching Smoothboard for a while, and I feel that paying for something like that is not right. You made this for free, and the applications borne from this must be too (personal opinion).
I've come up with a free alternative to smoothboard and it will be available on my blog really soon. Here's the video for the same:

Good with useful post! It is in truth what i want to read. comment was therefore sufficient but i desire to add up some criticism too. What about trying something dissimilar like health. My website is so originally refreshing! phentermine 37.5.
