Part II, Step 2: Duel Wii Remotes
Using two Wiimotes, aligned towards the screen from different locations, greatly improves the performance of the system. This reduces the “dead spots” that are due to body parts blocking the vision system of the Wiimote cameras. Once you try it, you won’t want to go back!
First, have WiimoteConnect learn your two Wiimotes (see Step II,1).
Set your connected Wiimotes facing the projected image. Mounting the Wiimotes higher up towards the ceiling also allows them to see over the heads of many students as they work on the interactive whiteboard.
Within the Smoothboard software settings, select the Wiimote tab and “Two Wiimotes”. After restarting the software, each Wiimote will need to be calibrated to the screen, using the four-point method with the IR pen.
