Check out this video.
Now, aside from the fact that the guy is missing THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, would you have guessed that he was a robot? Yeesh!
There's a theory called The Uncanny Valley which basically states that the closer something artificial gets to looking like a human, the more unnerving it gets for people to see. You can have something that looks just like a live person but it's the little things that are missing, such as facial tics, the way the eyes move, etc. that cause someone to think that there's something off about that robot or animated model.
This 'guy' really seems to get past that stumbling block... the fact that he's NOT creepily realistic is the creepiest thing about him!
Don't say you never learn anything while reading my blog. It may be geeky, but it's also educational!
