Sometimes people ask me what is meant by "The Uncanny Valley" in robotics and facial animation.
Well now thanks to a new Japanese software project that can take a single front of facial photo of you and animate it... I can say "this is the uncanny valley.. right here.
if you don't believe me pause it on a few frames and tell me that looks natural.
It's the best I've seen so far.. but still... creepy.
