Way back in 2008 when we first saw Johnny's video and had a go at making our own ir pen (paper clip, battery, a scavenged LED), a wiimote whiteboard was really only for the "tech geeks" amongst us - certainly most classroom teachers wouldn't have put up with the limitations and fiddly setup routines.
However, nearly two years later, the system has evolved to the point where it can legitimately be called mainstream. There are many partial solutions available on the market, ranging from sellers providing the individual components for the diy buyer, to kits that are made up of "reassigned" components, for example rechargeable batteries being used as power supplies.
We at 3Pi have worked hard to create custom designed and made components that are purpose built and when bought as part of our kits, provide complete systems that the 'average' teacher finds easy to use. Our kits are now being successfully used in schools throughout NZ, Australia and the USA. Our company mission statement of innovation, simplicity, excellence is what we are aiming for.
