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."

    My life is already quite cartoonishly silly. The only way software could make it more so would be to automatically drop an anvil on me as I fell off a cliff like Wylie Coyote.
