Transformed Reality - Altering Human Perceptions by Computation

We propose Transformed Reality, a new approach that alters our perception of the world using computation into a form that the user prefers. For a specific example of Transformed Reality, we implemented "Anime Glasses\´\´, a system that turns a natural scene into the style of an anime, or a cartoon film. The system is built on mobile devices, so the user can walk around and "live\´\´ in the altered environment. To achieve this purpose, methods of image and video processing were tested and compared in experiments.
