nope, no touch screen - it was right on the wall! At home, I have a 46" (or something. It's Big.) LCD television I have hooked up to my computer. I also have a wireless mouse and keyboard so I can use that for media viewing. Same idea, only with a TV instead of a projector.

I guess it would have to be near the screen. Was this put on a touch screen? I am hoping to have something that was remote to a screen on the wall (without running cords). But I might now be able to do this. On 6/17/09 1:41 PM, "Perian Sully" <psully at magnes.org> wrote: > We did this in our Projections gallery.
