The same guy that showed us the finger-tracking interface with Wii Remote, now shows us a much more useful use of the Wii Remote. With a Wii Remote and an infra-red LED pen, you have an instant virtual whiteboard anywhere. It even can do multi-touch to simulate that schweet Microsoft Surface computer.

I really gotta get a Laptop computer... Preferrably with Windows XP, and possibly a WiFi Card... As soon as I think about setting up one that can communicate between two computers, that is.

Problem is, how sdo you make a PC use a Wii Remote ? Homebre software ? I'd EFINITELY try that.

Ina couple of months, when I have bought about three or four videoi games and then saved much money and can spare some. Maybe I'll wish for the materials for my b-day.

I think computer needs bluetooth support, and then you can use GlovePIE to communicate with the remote

I could suggest this to my dad. He's been ranting about how his office doesn't have the budget for a Smart Board, and this could be a nice alternative.
