I wonder if there would be a similar "Uncanny Valley" effect if you have real people--who are the wrong real people, but look sort of like them.
Oddly, porn gives you some great case studies: any porn version of a major movie should have this effect. You could potentially do some kind of experiment where you see if Trekkies react to Whoref and 'Bater and Captain Dickhard the way other folks react to The Polar Express.
- froo 17y agoWell I've been doing some work with facial recognition lately and I came across some interesting research along those lines. http://leyvand.com/research/beautification2008/ http://leyvand.com/research/beautification2008/ I've also seen similar warping techniques used on more recognisable faces to achieve their "ideal" geometric spacings between facial features and they didn't look off-putting (from an uncanny valley perspective) but just.... wrong. So, I'm leaning towards no, but I'm not an expert.
