Mmmm, fresh data
Some data from the summer project on the Uncanny Valley. Can’t give it all away yet- but this is cool so far.
Travels in the uncanny valley
Here’s a screencast of my talk at the Rochester Institute of Technology Symposium on VR/AR Technology. It is from 3 December and a little low-key, so drink a little coffee before you start watching so you don’t fall… Read More
