Wiimote Makes Your Screen A Canvas

Johnny Chung Lee of Carnegie Mellon University decided that the infrared camera inside the Wiimote could be put to interesting uses … and he’s right. This is some of the coolest stuff I’ve seen for a while. If some company out there doesn’t build a $50 kit that converts your monitor to a poor man’s Cintiq they’re missing a really good opportunity.

You might also recall one of his earlier efforts, the $14 DIY Steadicam bracket featured in Make Magazine #1. I’m starting to be a serious fan of his. =]
