Asynchrony enhances uncanniness in human, android, and virtual dynamic facial expressions

BMC Research Notes, 2023
Objective Uncanniness plays a vital role in interactions with humans and artificial agents. Previous studies have shown that uncanniness is caused by a higher sensitivity to deviation or atypicality in specialized categories, such as faces or facial ...

Deviation from typical organic voices best explains a vocal uncanny valley

Computers in Human Behavior Reports
The uncanny valley describes the negative evaluation of near humanlike artificial entities. Previous research with synthetic and real voices failed to find an uncanny valley of voices. This may have been due to an incomplete selection of stimuli.

Evaluating the Uncanny Valley Effect in Dark Colored Skin Virtual Humans

2023 36th SIBGRAPI Conference on Graphics, Patterns and Images (SIBGRAPI), 2023
With the rapid advancement of technology, the design of virtual humans has led to a very realistic user experience, such as in movies, video games, and simulations. As a result, virtual humans are becoming increasingly similar to real humans. However, following the Uncanny Valley (UV) theory, users tend to feel discomfort when watching entities with ...

Categorization-based stranger avoidance does not explain the uncanny valley effect [PDF]

Cognition, 2017
The uncanny valley hypothesis predicts that an entity appearing almost human risks eliciting cold, eerie feelings in viewers. Categorization-based stranger avoidance theory identifies the cause of this feeling as categorizing the entity into a novel category.
