Wiimote Smoothboard

I was contacted by Boon Jin Goh recently about his super awesome Wiimote Smoothboard application.  Boon Jin took Johnny Lee’s original Wiimote Whiteboard app and added a ton of functionality.  What was a proof of concept or tech demo is now a fully functional electronic whiteboard capable of being used in a real environment.  Here’s a video showing functionality from the 0.1 version of his app, which has had several updates since.  Definitely give it a try if you’re looking for a very capable electronic whiteboard.  Great job!

Also note that both Johnny Lee and Boon Jin have contributed to our upcoming “Coding4Fun: 10 .NET Programming Projects for Wiimote, YouTube, World of Warcraft, and More” book (yes, the name changed again) with a chapter dedicated to the Wiimote Whiteboard.  This chapter will teach you how to build Johnny’s original whiteboard with the Smoothboard’s spiffy smoothing algorithm added in.
