Can a Pikachu drink your coffee? MIT video magic might show the way

Pokemon Go can make it seem like a cute Caterpie is sitting right there in your cup of coffee (eww). It's clearly just a cartoon image superimposed over the image your phone is capturing. But what if that Caterpie could react to the coffee, splash it around or drink it, as if it really were swimming in your Starbucks cup? Though the videos have been live since August 2, attention from Reddit sparked fresh interest on Friday. Lead researcher Abe Davis, a computer science Ph.D. candidate working in computer graphics, even stopped by the site to chime in.
