Realistic Human Graphics Look Creepy

Posted by michael on from the talking-heads dept.

WellHungMonkey writes "A really interesting read on Slate about how realistic human faces in games and on robots and so on, are not necessarily the way to go -- the brain isn't fooled, it attaches itself easier to Snoopy-like simplicity... Or Lara Croft attributes, but I'm not sure that's the brain talking."

    Perhaps it would be good to set up netcafes in "hotspots" with free fps gaming like counterstrike, so that the locals can get their kicks instead of making roadside bombs.

    Or perhaps we should just stop invading and occupying their countries, supporting dictatorial regimes which brutalize them and their families, and levelling sanctions against their nations for failing to comply with our demands of unlimited and unencumbered access to their markets and resources.

    Ah hell, what am I saying. You're right; I'm sure they'd rather have Counterstrike!
