LET link of the week

YouTube - Johnny Lee on Wii Remote hacks at TED 2008. Johnny Lee from Carnegie Mellon University demonstrates how to create an interactive whiteboard for $50 using a wii-mote, then how to add a $10 component to a Nintendo wii system to create a 3D computer display. Also interesting because in the last two minutes he describes how YouTube has changed the way he communicates his university research.
