Mutsugoto: long-distance romance via computer vision

Mutsugoto is a performance art installation. A computer vision and projection system enables couples separated by long distances to communicate. Each member of the couple wears a ring that is tracked by a camera. The projection system over each person's bed draws lines of light on the person and his or her bed according to the movements of the rings. The intent is to allow couples to communicate via strokes of light as a substitute for physical caresses.
