Uncanny Valley: Fundamentals and Applications
За е-книгава
The term "uncanny valley" originates from the field of aesthetics and refers to a postulated relation between the degree to which a thing resembles a human being and the emotional response one has to the object. The idea indicates that humanoid artifacts that poorly resemble actual human people induce feelings of unease and aversion in spectators. These feelings might be uncanny or curiously familiar at the same time. The term "Valley" refers to a decrease in the human observer's affinity for the replica, which is often a relation that grows stronger as the replica becomes more human-like.
