A loose and sketchy approach in a mediated reality environment

In this paper, we present sketchy-ar-us, a modified, real-time version of the Loose and Sketchy algorithm used to render graphics in an AR environment. The primary challenge was to modify the original algorithm to produce a NPR effect at interactive frame rate. Our algorithm renders moderately complex scenes at multiple frames per second. Equipped with a handheld visor, visitors can see the real environment overlaid with virtual objects with both the real and virtual content rendered in a non-photorealistic style.
