Turning a projection into a drawing surfaceA Wii Remote housed in a DVD case tracks an infrared light. Its position is sent to a computer, which uses a projector to draw a line at the corresponding point, creating a smartboard-style drawing surface. I built the hardware with a partner at Hopkins School; my partner handled the software.
