Part II, Step 3: Further Improvements
For further improvements in a classroom setting, consider purchasing rechargeable battery packs for the Wii remote from your local consumer-electronics retailer. Due to the popularity of the Wii gaming system, there are several accessories that are readily available to improve the performance of the Wii Whiteboard System.
Shown here is the i-CON rechargable battery pack, available from retail electronics stores where the Wii gaming system is sold. As well as a rechargeable battery it can also act as a constant source of power by keeping the USB charge cable permanently attached.
Wireless “sensor bars” (in actuality, they don’t “sense” but simply act as a source of IR light) are also available. One of these, set near the screen during Presenter mode allows the Wiimote to orient itself with IR tracking, and display a moveable pointer on the screen.
