Uncanny Valley!

Nope, I think they genuinely jumped over the valley on this one. Amazing work.

Kinda creepy though.

Crazy, but super sweet!

Her face is like... flat, like paper, and there's and obvious (To me) unnatural bend at the edges of her face. There is another demo for this AMD technology that is in my opinion, better. But you'll have to google it, I saw this a while ago originally...

1) She has no visible pores.
2) Her eyes appear hollow.
3) The leather on the chair doesn't move when she shifts. Shadows move, yes, but the leather wrinkes should too.

Those are what get me.
