The big Tokyo Design Week Expo just happened, and the big talk coming out of it was about an android named Asuna, which some think might be the first step past the "uncanny valley" and is really cute. Others don't think she made it and is really creepy. So here she is, and what do you think:

 
S#1 and I both think Asuna could almost pass for human, at least at a glance.


Maybe a little of both? Cute but creepy too?
 
Son#1 changed his vote to "cute" without any qualifiers just now. Of course, he's got a thing for Asian chicks so I dunno.... :D
 
I could not tell much from the brief video but if robots are the fashion models of the future then that is creepy.
 
Creepy.

Not so much that the robot is creepy (it is) but mostly because someone felt a need to make a robot look so human.

Cute if your sole exposure to Asian women was in The Grudge.
 
Kind of looks like a Madam Tussauds wax work when it's still. Not too creepy then.

When it moves though..... It's the movement that invokes uncanny valley, not cute in the slightest.

Well, based on what I've been reading over the past couple of years, it appears that there are some issues with personal relationships over there. Maybe this is somehow tied in.

The one thing I found interesting is that I watched several videos of her looking for the best one for this thread, and when I first started I flat out thought she was flat out creepy when she moved, like you say. But somewhere in the 10 minutes or so I watched the video, something happened and while I am not sure I would describe her as cute, but in this video I actually had a reaction when the guy brushes against her hair, like you would react to a creepy guy brushing against the hair of a girl. It was real brief, but for a second I passed the point of seeing it as creepy android and reacted as if she really was a girl.

Um, no. People have the oddest misconceptions about Japanese people...

Son 1 is smart. Asian women are hot.

Greetings, Lutherf. :2wave:

She looks more human than a lot of humans I see at the mall, and more alert, too! :lol:
 
she is cutepy

The only thing I would be worried about when going to Japan would be the incredible amount of old/older people compared to young people. Japan is beginning to have a little issue there.

Other than that, Japan is a very rich nation (both in culture AND economically) with tons to offer. Good for gaming, not as good as South Korea but good nonetheless.
 
Nothing but creepy, and given it is Japanese odds are the whole thing will end up as a new porn fetish.
 
Like it or not we will be seeing a LOT more of this in the future. There will be robotic girlfriends, pleasure bots, female maidbots (funded by Strauss-Kahn most likely... possibly a hybrid mix with the pleasure bot).

This is only the beginning and it will get a lot better, ... or worse, depending on how you look at it.

Also, can't forget about the manbot that sits on the couch, drinks 10w-30, and yells at the game. If you give it enough electricity it'll get up and do something the maidbot can't, or refuses to do.

if so they may fake orgasm like women:tongue4:
 
Meh...not for me to say. All I can say is that if it becomes affordable...there are a whole lot of people that can sing a new song...

 
I wouldn't associate with someone that has (or even had) a sex doll. Too ****ed up.
 
Holy crap. I just had a scary thought. If they filmed a movie with this animated doll and the thespian styling of the great Nicholas Cage...no one could tell who was the live actor! :shock:
