I managed to hook up a MacMini to a plasma and hook the Wiimote up as a pointing device and run Joost full screen. This actually translated into a meaningful application of Joost, as well as a peak at what user interaction with more complicated visual experience in the living room could look like.

Niiiicee!
I’ve been thinking of using a mac mini for my video center as well. I didn’t think of using the wiimote though. That’s a pretty cool idea.
How does Joost look expanded on the big screen? I was worried that it would be too pixelated.
Make sure you check out ABC.com’s streams. Their regular AND Hi Def streams look FANTASTIC on big screen.
