for a smartboard you have to buy a projector as well…
This is a bit of “false advertising,” if anything were being sold. This whole system is only cheap if you forget that you have to buy a projector, which is not a cheap device.
The cheapest of projectors cost hundreds of dollars, and the bulbs are very expensive.
get the nyko one it looks cool
works the same
will this only work for vista?
I LOVE YOU. I’m going to try that as soon as I can! Gotta get to the console store purchase a Wii remote…
if you need an infared light and dont know where to get one you can take one from a tv controller
This is fun, I did a group project with this for my tech class.
We used two wiimotes, from both sides to get better tracking, but I didn’t know we could have used more than one pen, that would have been way cooler.
that…….Is………BEAST!!!!!!!!

are ther usb pens?
If you are using Smoothboard, you will just need a Bluetooth adaptor that is using the MS Bluetooth Stack. You will just need to press the 1 + 2 buttons and Smoothboard will automatically connect your Wiimote

Actually, if you have 2 wiimotes, you can have better tracking. That’s what I did. I had one wiimote pointed from the left side, and one from the right. It had much better tracking.
Your awesome.
Damn! Dude, that is amazing! Very impressive!
Wow, this is something big! Good work!
How would i connect the wii remote to a computer ?

the wii-mote uses wireless bluetooth.
i dont get it wat is the remote hooked up to
so what would happen if you set up 2 wiimotes?? would you be able to have multiple button uses? I.E. set up a pen to send different signals like a tv remote? or would that be too complicated and bulky?
do you have to have blue tooth? like can u hook it up to the computer any other way?
