The Avatar of the Uncanny Valley was a project in which I applied a term from robotics to an examination of virtual worlds avatars; and whether the levels of identification and empathy between human handler and avatar might become affected
by visual transformations of the virtual part of the equation.
The graph above shows a juxtaposition of Masahiro Mori's famous Uncanny Valley diagram with my own experimentations,
involving my avatar Alpha, in order to test Mori's theorem within a non-robotic context.
