This is an 'urban interaction' installation, where two people waiting on opposite sides of a pedestrian crossing can play each other in a game of pong.

Pretty cool :)

I wonder what they are using for communicating between the two touch screens on each side of the road. It almost looks like the touch screens are large mobile phones.

Nothing at all.

It's a concept created using VFX[1].

I think I'm more impressed with the use VFX to demonstrate ideas than the pong game itself!
