The Uncanny Valley is Now Scientific Fact

By Alex Chen | January 01, 0001

The notion of the “Uncanny Valley”, where artificial people are more disturbing the closer they come to “reality”, has been around for ages. But now, thanks to a research team in San Diego, it’s bonafide science.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; w69 slot ทาง เข้า cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); As reported on Wired, The University of California confronted twenty test subjects with a variety of videos showing a very special kind of robot performing basic actions. That robot is the Repliee Q2, from Osaka University, which is based on an actual person and is capable of a wide range of intricate facial expressions. Three w69 slot ทางเข้า sets of footage were compiled: one of Repliee “naked”, her wiring and internal components exposed, one of the robot with her “human face” on and a third w69 slot ทาง เข้า

on, their brains freaked out It seems the issue was with our brains not liking the disparity between superficial human appearance and robotic actions. It expects human things to act human, and when they don’t, it throws up a flag. As the Uncanny Valley is such a common problem in video games, the team’s findings make you wonder whether w69 slot เครดิตฟรี 188 บาท developers are going about overcoming it the right way. If it’s all in the motion maybe they need to worry more about the way a game character moves (in particular their faces) instead of how well they’re textured.
