 Wiimote Smoothboard is developed from Johnny Lee’s Wiimote Whiteboard 0.2 using Brian Peek’s WiimoteLib 1.4. Following suggestions from users of WiimoteProject.com, this application was worked on with the objectives of improving the ease of use and the functionality of the Wiimote Whiteboard. In this version, I have integrated Jason Smith’s Wiimote Presenter 0.2.

 

With the Wiimote Smoothboard, I hope that everyone especially teachers and those who do a lot of presentations will find this application useful.
