Is this for real?!!
Johnny Lee has developed an astonishing little piece of technology. I’m not sure that any SmartBoard manufacturers are going to be impressed. He marries a modified Wii handheld device, with a standard data projector, and creates an interactive whiteboard that works (nearly) as well as the full-blown versions.
I’d love some feedback from the technophobes out there. How viable is this? The implications for school budgets are significant. It also makes me wonder what else will soon be supplanted by vastly cheaper technologies. Will we end up getting everything for free?? See Open Source and Creative Commons if that concept interests you.
Video of Johnny Lee goes for 6 mins.
If you wish to download his free software for getting this to work, you can find it here.
