It is almost scary to watch this man dance. I felt like I was watching CGI, and had to keep watching his face and clothing to remind myself that there were no camera tricks.
The uncanny valley is a hypothesis in the field of robotics[1] and 3D computer animation,[2][3] which holds that when human replicas look and act almost, but not perfectly, like actual human beings, it causes a response of revulsion among human observers. The “valley” refers to the dip in a graph of the comfort level of humans as a function of a robot’s human likeness.
