I've read about this some time ago, and now i started to test the whiteboard on my laptop. At first i didnt know what to expect i had a tiny 14.1" screen wii mote at close range so i thought maybe it would be as responsive as the demo from Johnny Lee, but i was wrong it is almost just as responsive as my mouse Cheesy , i modified a simple led light replaced the led with a IR led from a old remote, but wow it work almost perfect. The only problem was the sun, it can be a **LOVE** sometimes as my laptop is close to my window(i dont have another position for it). But without the sun it work great.

On my desktop(Windows Vista) it doesnt run i dont know the nature of this problem but i wil get to it later. I love this project. Keep going.

The only problem is the right click thing, but i like the idea of a hotspot where you can click for right click.

I got i going real nice, i have my right click working by holding the cursor at one place for 3 secs, the code needs to be cleaned up and it needs some tunning but by tomorrow it will be ready for everyone who wants to test it  Grin

Good to see that there are people who want to test my solution, this way i know i can help others. I just hope my IR pen holds for testing  Cheesy (its taped/gleued together).

I'm just at home from my work, so maybe im gonna test/clean up for sometime now, and i hope my code is ready tomorrow or maybe tonight but its about 23:00(11:00 PM) here, so i dont have much time before i need to go sleep Grin.

Edit: for the moment it seems that i have a right click in firefox but on my desktop it doesnt work, because i have a ugly hack atm, always left_down but depending of the pressed time it gives a rightup or left up, im trying to think of a solution for that, it just a couple of days i started developing in C#(i have alot of experience in PHP) so im figuring it out one step at a time but its going the good way, the basics of C# is pretty easy to learn.

Edit(Somewhere later a night): Problem one, my click and hold solution comes with a price, the price it loss of movement and responsiveness. I need to put in some time of unresponsiveness so i can calculate the time the button is pressed, and there for you can't move anything because holding it longer will make it a right click... i have put in a testing version to test for you guys but beware  that you need to wait for 1 sec before you click again if you want a left click...

led on = left-click
hold 2sec = right-click

tell me if it works for a bit, and ill try to correct the responsiveness bug.
