Well, in both of the projects i was involved in (prototyping a new augmented reality device) i needed a flexible form factor that i could freak into a convincing physical device) and i couldnt see the screen, and i couldnt always be in wifi or bluetooth range. The original post in rhis thread asked for a hand held solution that would work anywhere in a large commercial gym. Else you would be correct.

Hi there, It seems to me that you guys are making this much too complicated. Why not just use a wireless USB keyboard with a wireless mouse? I have a Gyration Ultra which works great! http://www.gyration.com/c-2-mice-keyboards.aspx They may even have remotes too. You can always custom tailor your Revolution on screen controls to be easy to use in the classroom environment. Alternatively, you could try: FrogPad Bluetooth Right-handed - Keyboard - wireless - Bluetooth It takes up just 1/2 the keyboard space. Have fun!
