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.
