The uncanny valley refers to the hypothesis that human replicas that appear almost exactly like humans elicit feelings of unease by the viewers. This concept suggests that as a robot or a virtual character becomes more human-like, it is likely to elicit more favorable emotional responses from people, but only up to a certain point. If the replica is very close to looking human but not quite perfect, it can provoke feelings of discomfort or eeriness—this is the "valley."
