WiiDrawing is a tool that combines the disciplines of drawing and gaming. Coming from an illustration and painting background, we wanted to explore different modes of expression using technology. We programmed the wii nunchuck to draw as if using traditional tools as well as exploring drawing styles that could only be achieved using technology.

The sensors in the wii nunchuck—buttons, joystick and accelerometer—were utilized to switch drawing styles, change thickness and color of the brush, and to save the drawing to Tumblr. The program Arduino and Processing and serial communication between devices.
