I remember a few years ago when the smartboard was completely new. The idea of having a board that one could write on like a whiteboard but interact with like a computer stylus was innovative. The prohibitive cost kept many from adopting it, but the prices were steadily falling. Microsoft even predicts a day when it will be standard in a house or restaurant to have an interactive table top.
That day appears to be nearing much more rapidly. Thanks to an inventive and imaginative student. Here is a video showing the multi-touch whiteboard that he developed. Using an infra-red LED and a Nintendo Wii remote.
Pretty cool, huh?
