I am going to make one tomorrow. I am 13 and I will be able to do everything myself :)

I'm 13 and I did it!

I've seen kids younger than 13 put these things together and maintain them. In addition, there are now commercial options available for those who want to purchase ready-made light pens. Inre: 3rd party software. You're right, many school districts won't have it, but technically the commercial e-whiteboard software is third party. Also, replacing batteries? Are you joking? You seem to be raising a lot of non-issues. If you have a better assessment, please post it.

This was a nice attempt, but NOT an accurate assessment. Your right in that a wii mote is great for shoe string budgets that have tech savvy staff available, and a relaxed enough IT policy that will allow 3rd party software created by a student to be installed on district property, but how happy would that tech savvy staff be outfitting, trouble shooting, building pens, replacing batteries, adjusting fields of view, reducing theft of remotes, checking Bluetooth for all those classrooms?

Pretty much anything works with the Wiimote. I'm yet to find a Bluetooth chipset that doesn't.

Sounds like a plan - I will!

If you've got access to one, it might be a project worth your looking into :)

This analysis is not that realistic as it does not analyse the Promethean interactive whiteboard. This technology is digital compared to the SMART board in this clip, which is touch sensitive. Therefore, the pen used with it is the mouse - giving complete mouse functionality in any application; the tracking rate is very quick, there are no touch sensitive problems unlike SMART, they are solid state and very durable. I would like to see analysis vs this system for a true piece of research.
