Have you ever watched an animated movie or played a video game where a character's face just felt...off? Not necessarily bad animation, but something deeper, something that made you feel a subtle sense of unease or even revulsion? If so, you've likely experienced the "uncanny valley."
Coined by robot designer Masahiro Mori in 1970
