TomTom is an interactive installation that uses a mixture of body movements, webcams and programming to create a dialogue between two users.

The system uses the programming language Processing to identify a specific color from a laptop's webcam, and translates that to a coordinate system that can be sent back and forth between two laptops. The users can interact with the system by holding colored tokens, whose movement can be detected by the laptops' webcams. These movements are then projected onto a screen, so that the users can control each other's cursors in sync.

After calibrating the webcams to the colored tokens, users interact with arm movements, that correspond to vertical and horizontal lines on the projected surface. In between the lines, primary colors fill the spaces in between to create an interactive, Mondrian-esque image. The users coordinate their movements to create an image to their preference.

The project aims to encode and decode human movement as a form of communication. Broken down to the simplest form of communication, mimicking the body movements of another can trigger empathy and emotions in one another.
