Uncanny Valley

Data Visualization

Description

Infographic presenting the phenomenon of the ‘uncanny valley’- a lack of comfort in observers with representations that are near, but not near enough, to natural beings. Created for for inclusion in the report “How Humans Respond to Robots: Building Public Policy through Good Design” by Heather Knight, one in a series of papers on civilian robotics.
(FYI – corpse image is a death-portrait of Victor Hugo).
