Automated White Board
Posted on May 4, 08 11:39 PM PDT
Sprites Mods has hacked the Automated White Board which is capable of extracting text input from the Internet while plotting it on the whiteboard. This is made possible by using an electromagnet that releases a spring, pushing a perspex rod on the whiteboard, moving the entire carriage including the pen's tip away from the surface. If the pen requires to be 'down', the electromagnet will actuate and gravity will push the tip of the pen down to the whiteboard's surface yet again. A microcontroller will control the driver ICs. To get a better idea of how the entire thing works, just take a look at the video and be amazed. I wonder how soon will corporate America have something like this.

This could be combined with quipit/scanr for real-time whiteboard mirroring for remote offices!
