Abstract
The Emerging Technologies section of this year's conference includes two independent projects that convert live video into a cartoon-like image in real-time. In one system (Real-time video abstraction, Northwestern University), you can see your own face looking back at you like a cartoon character, complete with dark-line silhouette outlines and flat-color "fill" of various surface areas. When you turn your head, the cartoon character turns its head. Raise your right eyebrow and smile, the character does the same. He really looks like you, but in a cartoon kind of way. It is definitely a most peculiar sensation to see one's self as a cartoon avatar, as it were, face-to-face!

Render me real?: investigating the effect of render style on the perception of animated virtual humans
The realistic depiction of lifelike virtual humans has been the goal of many movie makers in the last decade. Recently, films such as Tron: Legacy and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button have produced highly realistic characters. In the real-time domain,...
Perceptual evaluation of cartoon physics: accuracy, attention, appeal
APGV '08: Proceedings of the 5th symposium on Applied perception in graphics and visualizationPeople have been using stylistic methods in classical animation for many years and such methods have also been recently applied in 3D Computer Graphics. We have developed a method to apply squash and stretch cartoon stylisations to physically based ...
Gloss perception in painterly and cartoon rendering
Depictions with traditional media such as painting and drawing represent scene content in a stylized manner. It is unclear, however, how well stylized images depict scene properties like shape, material, and lighting. In this article, we describe the ...
