Can't quite pull these links into a coherent whole (there's a lot of
reporting, but little evidence of the original work), but they're
interestign anyway...

An vague description of Masahiro Mori work on the Uncanny Valley -

A book by Mori (does this include more details?) -

Other citations of "Uncanny Valley" -

Is this why Gollum is creepy (I haven't seen the film, but downloaded the
Oscar(?) acceptance video, and wasn't impressed) -

A robotic face (mentions Mori's work) -
