Zeitgeist Tech Ninja



Johnny Lee demos his amazing Wii Remote hacks, bending the $40 game part so it powers a digital whiteboard, a multitouch display and a head-mounted 3-D viewer.

This completely blew my mind. Technology is at its best when it functionality is unlocked on an existing system, i.e. figuring out that regular phone lines could carry high-speed internet. Johnny Lee deserves some form of life sized golden statue. Rest assured the world is going to give this guy whatever he needs to keep inventing in his lab- money, recognition, tenure, unbridled power...

Check out his Wii project page for more, including how the Wii Remote hack can be use to make your laptop screen a touch screen- without an LCD projector.
