After seeing these videos I knew I had to do that too! So together with Arjan and Gijs we bought ourselves wiimotes, and started hacking... pens.

Step 1: Building an IR enabled pen.

  • Step 2: Build more pens
  • Step 3: Modify the software from Johnny Chung Lee so that it works under linux, possibly by using only C++... though I have to check if that is achievable.
  • Step 4: Build kewl interfaces.. that is: adapt current already build almost-kewl interfaces to work with new interface, as to allow multipoint bashing of images and video.
  • Step 5: ...
  • Step 6: Profit!
