Johnny Chung Lee has come with a new and simple solution for a (multi) point screen. The idea is to track the IR point with an wiimote.

Look at Johnny Lee’s website for details..

Obiously, we from Labcoding.com love playing with the Wiimote, so we’re going to try Johnny’s experiment!

At first we need to download the software.

- Wiimote whiteboard
- Multitouch app ( if you build two IR pens, for one IR pen use, Wiimote Whiteboard)
- Direct-X sdk (it’s 426mb and only needed if you want to use the MultiTouch App)

Shopping list:

• 1 Wiimote
• 2 IR led (1.5V tolerant Led)
• 2 Small ‘press’ switch
• 2 (AA) battery

* for testing you can try a normal IR remote, but usually this blinks the IR signal, so it doesnt work that great!

Getting started:

First we need to make an IR led pen.

The scheme looks like this:

The second project in line we anounced is the AlbumFlow.
It works almost the same like the MovieFlow beta 1.0, also the connection off the wiimote is done by ‘bluesoleil’ (or some kind).

For more details of how this works, please take a look at the MovieFlow topic.

In this project we are gonna take a look at this movieFlow project. This is the first of the first beta in line. So don’t expect a totally bug free program!

The goal is to make a part of the total ‘media player’ concept like shown in the topic “concept media ui design and adobe director“. This little program should also be developed in adobe director, for the main reasons, fast and easy flash integration.
