A review of empirical evidence on different uncanny valley hypotheses: support for perceptual mismatch as one road to the valley of eeriness
The uncanny valley hypothesis, proposed already in the 1970s, suggests that almost but not
fully humanlike artificial characters will trigger a profound sense of unease. This hypothesis …
