Have you ever been to Uncanny Valley? …
Oh, wait a second, you don’t know where that is? …
No, it’s not in Japan. And no, not Canada either. …

Well, we’re messing with you a bit here. It’s actually not a place at all, in fact the uncanny valley phenomenon relates to a feeling. Have you ever felt strangely unsettled or disturbed when confronted with a poor CGI animation or a human-like robot?


You’re not alone, this feeling is exactly what the Uncanny Valley theory is all about. In this video we discuss not only examples which invoke the Uncanny Valley effect but also try to understand exactly why we feel this way when faced by humanoids, digital or animatronic.
