Wii Mote "Smartboard"

Dear People,

One of the main concerns with educational technology is that it's expensive and thus won't be implemented in lower income areas.

Consider the Smartboard. A Smartboard usually cost's more than two grand these days. However, there are many people who are making much cheaper, do-it-yourself alternatives.

One of those people is Johnny Lee. He has created a low cost Wiimote interface. He outlines it in the following video.



I can understand how this might be complicated. But it's also groundbreaking because people of all income brackets can enjoy the same Smartboard technology that was once reserved for the higher brackets.
