I would imagine that the thimbles make it easier to take on and off. It also helps to keep the screen clean…

Like hal said above, I would like to know why it’s necessary to use two wii remotes. I would think one would suffice.

Just check out Nuigroup for all your touchscreen needs. The Wiimote white board is Good but really there should be no need for clumsy thimbles and infrared pens! Just fingers and infrared.

I have achieved the same thing without a wiimote.

Tried experimenting but imediatly saw the limitations.

This is fantastic stuff.

Would this be remotely practical using a large LCD display?

I’m an Ableton Live lover like you wouldnt belive and this would be the icing on the cake, but I dont want to blow silly money on a projector.

Why 2 remotes? Wouldn’t a single remote just work?

Yeah it totally is! glad to see somebody actually utilizing this hack for something actually useful – not that no one else has ;)
