Wii-mote Possibilities
Here is a clever video from Johnny Lee at Carnegie Mellon University showing how you can use a Nintendo Wii-mote and home-made infrared LED light pens to create a low cost multi-touch interactive whiteboard system.

Nintendo's Wii is the one the most innovative systems to ever be released. The idea of motion sensing controls has been contemplated for a while, and even attempted (remember the NES Power Glove?), but the Wii is the first time that anyone has actually successfully marketed the motion sensing. We love the idea of the Wii and we love the possibilities that Nintendo has created with their insanely popular new system, but we do have our own ideas on how to keep the motion sensing fresh…
Cobalt is an open source virtual world browser and construction toolkit application being developed at Duke University. Cobalt makes it possible for people to easily create, publish, access, and participate in a network of linked virtual worlds. Currently in pre-alpha and built using the Croquet open source software development platform, Cobalt uses peer-based messaging to eliminate the need for virtual world servers and makes it very simple to create and share secure virtual worlds that run on all major operating systems.
