Why realistic graphics make humans look creepy

"In 1978, the Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori noticed something interesting: The more humanlike his robots became, the more people were attracted to them, but only up to a point. If an android become too realistic and lifelike, suddenly people were repelled and disgusted."

"Consider Alias, the new title based on the TV show. It's a reasonably fun action-and-puzzle game, where you maneuver Sydney Bristow through a series of spy missions. But whenever the camera zooms in on her face, you're staring at a Jennifer Garner death mask. I nearly shrieked out loud at one point."

Interesting.

Sounds like a wimp...

Great little read. I found it interesting. Its been years since the psych courses but I do remember touching on some of the facial recognition stuff in the courses.

Thanks Bribo.

The actress' life story after that movie is pretty interesting. She's kind of had a hard go of it.

Sean Young - she's a psycho from what i've read about her. I saw a few interviews with her in the past and she come's off as a class A bitch - but that's just my .02

She was in Wall Street (played Gordon Gekko's wife), Dune, and also firebirds with Nicolas Cage. Those three and Blade Runner are the only movies I believe I remember seeing her in. Oh wait, I think she was in Ace Ventura too. Doesn't she do a whole lot of "B" movies now? I suppose I should do a search on imdb....

She was accused of stalking, and has had bouts of depression. For awhile she couldn't get any big time roles (sort of a blacklisting thing going on.)

It was detailed in a special on E! or something a while ago... I was flipping around and caught the end of it.

Generally if you end up on E! Biography, you're screwed up in some way.

I didn't know she battled depression though.
