Find your uncanny valley
In 1970 Masahiro Mori guessed that as machines look more human we warm to them — until, just short of human, the feeling drops into something eerie. In Robotics(Humanity) the room rates eight faces on their phones and draws the curve live. Rate them here, and see where your valley falls.
