Over the past couple of months I've spent a lot of time online learning about Wiimote whiteboards, touch screens, Lego robots and all kinds of other amazing tech projects. I reckon I've probably picked up more knowledge from doing this research than I was taught at Uni and it's all down to people getting online and sharing their ideas, knowledge and experience. So, let's continue to share and see what happens when you get an interesting group of young people together to bridge the gap between creativity and technology.
We've spent quite a bit of time testing what you can do with Wiimotes. Thanks to Johnny Chung Lee we've managed to quite easily play around with Wiimote whiteboards and VR displays. I'd also recommend looking into Friispray to make your own digital graffiti wall.
Another relatively easy experiment was learning to create a touch screen. The group all tried creating their own touch screen using the instructions in the video below and it worked a treat. They've since decided that a great longer term project would be to make a durable, more professional looking screen so fingers crossed.
