A DIY smartboard for under $50

Presenters - The Ohio State University Guys
Available on Google Wave - with:public netc2010

Johnny Lee Chung came up with the idea for this smartboard. He has a video that explains this at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s5EvhHy7eQ
WII remote has to be set up to the side so that your body does not block the signal.
LED has to be wired correctly. On the LED the short end is negative.

WII remote has Bluetooth in it that connects to the laptop.
Calibration software is on Johnny Lee's site
You can use up to 4 LED pens at one time.

You can use a projector shining on a desktop to do the same thing, or even directly on a laptop screen to make it seem to be a tablet.
