Johnny Lee’s (Wii Remote Hacker) at TED

April 12, 2008 by Geeks are Sexy | 7 comments

Johnny Lee, whose amazing Wii Remote hacks – which turn the $40 device into a digital whiteboard, multi-touch display, and 3-D viewer – have been a massive hit on YouTube, was invited to speak at the TED conference. Watch and be amazed by what a brilliant mind can do with a child’s toy.

    I saw Johnny Lee’s video and thought this guy was a genius. After viewing this video, I didn’t realize how much has happened since then and more innovation that he’s exposed.

He will be successful either way but will be remembered by encouraging the community. Cheers to Johnny
