Johnny Lee is at it again.

not sure how to link that kind of video but he made a multi touch whiteboard with the Wiimote.

i also linked in the Wii thread that Bloom Box is using his head tracking tech to allow you to move the camera in the game.

We've all witnessed the incredible ways that technomancer Johnny Lee can put a Wiimote to good use, but apparently, attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference were unaware of the handheld peripheral's vast potential. You can actually hear their minds crackle, then implode as Lee shows off two of his cost-efficient tech demos -- the multi-touch whiteboard, and 3-D head tracking (which was further confirmed to be in EA/Speilburg's Boom Blox as an easter egg). Like all Johnny Lee videos, we can guarantee this to be the coolest thing you've seen today -- unless, of course, you've just watched the entire "American Ninja" quintology.

He deserves every bit of publicity and attention he gets.

no doubt. i imagine (since it could be simple to do) that we'll see some more Wii games make simple use of this in the future.

That white board is incredible.

I don't know what this thread is about, but I read American Ninja in there and now I want to watch it.

Anyone know how old Lee and what he does for a living? Some tech company needs to hire him asap if they haven't already.

I'm sure he's filthy rich already.

He deserves every bit of money he gets from this.

He strikes me as the academia type, but I am sure he gets lots of offer and much ass (at least nerdy, male ass).

There should be a thread about the TED Talks. They're pretty fucking rad.
