Abstract :
We run a project involving a large number of schools introducing an inexpensive, Wiimote based Interactive Whiteboard. Our aim was to verify how far such solution was from the industrial solutions. We found that in spite of some minor nuisances, the devices are actually well usable. An advantage is that since the solution is cheap, it can be used also at home. Another important point is that the extra burden of setting up the system by one selves increases the teachers´ awareness.
