Configure and deploy a functioning “smartboard” using wiimotes and free software.

• identify known working bluetooth dongles
• list other wiimote whiteboard software (especially for Linux)
• create procedure section
• create calibration section
• create applications section (using some screen drawing software)
• explore some multitouch capability
• finish background section
• pictures

At a minimum, the following hardware is needed:

• Wiimote (1 minimum, 2 for better tracking)
• compatible bluetooth hardware
• wiimote-whiteboard software
• an IR light pen
• a projector
• host computer running appropriate software
• working or non-depleted batteries for wiimotes and IR pen

Preferably, we'd also want these additional items:

• ceiling mounting apparatus
• USB chargeable battery

The Wiimote is a unique piece of hardware which provides the following capabilities:

• bluetooth communication for wireless operation
• an IR camera (technical details)
