Uncanny Valley

The Uncanny Valley refers to the phenomenon where human-like objects or characters that are almost, but not quite, indistinguishable from real humans can evoke a sense of eeriness, discomfort, or revulsion in the viewer. As artificial intelligence and robotics continue to advance, understanding the Uncanny Valley is crucial for developers and designers creating humanoid robots, computer-generated characters, and other lifelike digital entities, helping them to craft more relatable and engaging interactions that avoid creeping out their users.
