Turn Real Life Into A Cartoon

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the video-toasting dept.

Saige writes "Ever wanted to see yourself in a cartoon? Before now, there were means to turn a single image into something cartoon-like, but some folks at Microsoft Research have come up with a method to turn a video into an animated cartoon. It's not up to doing it fully automated, as you have to hand-mark various parts of the video every 10 to 15 frames, but the video of the results is quite impressive."

    I think the difference is that neither Microsoft, nor the MPAA, and not even the RIAA is totally evil or without their good side. In decreasing order of likelyhood, they all occasionally redeem their overall negative reputation by doing something really cool, innovative, original, new, fair, inspiring, and dare I even say "good" (in the sense of right / wrong) .

    However, SCO is totally evil, and can do no good.
