Arrow Virtual Woman's Realistic Facial Features

The virtual woman's facial expressions depicted on this website are nearly identical to those of the real woman's in the background. It's pretty cool, check her out.

Brings to mind this article I read on bots...and how a guy unwittingly started a "relationship" with one. The bots are getting mighty sophisticated.

Uncanny Valley again. Almost human but not quite... they're too... "clean". too "perfect". They need blemishes on the skin and redness in the cheeks and the like. Some wrinkles etc. But it's so close it's creepy. Give them another 5 years and I expect them to be indistinguishable from the real thing. Now THAT would be scary...

I didn't like looking at the animated "woman" especially when she made those scary faces b/c her face is already scary enough...give me me the willies...for real.
