Abstract

In this paper we present ToMMI (TOkens for Multiplatform tangible Mobile Interaction), a software library capable of supporting both tangible and multi-touch interaction on mobile devices. ToMMI exploits 3D printed tokens that can be recognized and tracked on devices equipped with commercial capacitive displays. Results shows that the computational core of ToMMI is lightweight and can extract token information in less than a millisecond. Furthermore, the library has an intuitive interface, which facilitates its use, and it is based on a portable framework that guarantees the deployment of any application based on it on a plethora of different smartphones and tablets. We also report that ToMMI code is available, open source, for the research community.
