OK-- I know how he did it-- putting the projector under the table and the wiimote above it, but what is he using on his finger?  Is it a DIY (do it yourself) device or are the fingertip IR devices you can purchase? 

I work with children with special needs, and they all love to drum on their desks during class.  A program like this could really help to channel their love of music and their rhythmic skills!

Any information that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Just click on "more info" and you get:

I used an IR light source strapped to my finger with a push button switch to activate mouse clicks. The wiimote can track the position of my finger using Johnny Lee's famous Wiimote software: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/project...

I guess my question was more along the lines of how would I go about making that light switch and clicker?

Im guessing he had the IR LED's pointing up and had a simple switch on the underside of his finger... then when he touched the surface it would turn on and he could also perform dragging by holding down, etc.
