Our Infrared Pen Story
Infra-red is Latin for "below red" infra, meaning "below". Researcher and student Johnny Chung Lee became a YouTube celebrity by creating a cool hack of an infra "below" cost electronic white board. A typical two thousand dollar electronic whiteboard can now easily be created by using a infrared pen, a single $24 Nintendo Wiimote, and a standard projector.
The infrared camera in the Wiimote detects the infrared pen, transmits its location back to the computer as it were a mouse and has the ability to detect motion-emulated clicks.
About Infrared pens
Infrared pens are difficult to find. Until recently there's been no common application of infrared pens for the student, teacher or small business organization. Information on infrared light was initially published in 1800 by detecting the infrared beyond the red part of the light spectrum. They were first called "Calorific Rays".
Creating an Infrared Pen
Making an infrared pen can be more difficult that it appears. Infraredpens.com was inspired by many frustrated attempts to make a IR pen, many trips and purchases at RadioShack and Fry's Electronics, in addition to an hour or two of assembly with still no working IR pen!
Finding an infrared pen to buy is difficult. This site was developed for individuals, schools, and small businesses that want a professional manufactured infrared pen.
Sincerely,
