Watch that, looks really easy to do. Basically all you need is a wiimote and a bluetooth pc. Gonna set one up on my tv in the lounge soon. Should make a really nice touchscreen.

Thinking of different ways to control the touch and click. Am planning to have a button on the pen at the tip so that when you press the screen it puts the light on meaning that it's simply a touch screen, I think with most of the current examples they have to press a button as well as touch the screen.

Am also toying with the idea of losing the pen and just having a button and led on a thimble type thing that fits on your finger. Think I'd need a power source up my sleeve though. Would be nice to try to get it to work this way too so you'd just need some reflective tape on your finger rather than a battery pack etc. Might cause a problem if it's permenantly clicked though, would need to make it not clicked by default and have a way of clicking seperately though. Not sure how I'd link a button on my finger up to a mouse to click. No point in having a mouse in the other hand to click as that'd defeat the purpose!

Anyone think of cool ways to use these features and any better ideas for my touchscreen???
