Virtual faces evoke only a weak uncanny valley effect: An empirical investigation with controlled virtual face images

2018-07-17

Abstract excerpt

<p>The uncanny valley (UV) hypothesis suggests that increasingly human-like robots or virtual characters elicit more familiarity in their observers (positive affinity) with the exception of near-human characters that elicit strong feelings of eeriness (negative affinity). We studied this hypothesis in three experiments with carefully matched images of virtual faces varying from artificial to realistic. We investig...
