Scary Robot Face is Scary, Ugly


From geekology, The WD-2 scary robot face from Tokyo University can allegedly transform to look like anyone. It has a projector in the rear so it can project video of your face and expressions to make it even more frightening. It has "17 facial points, for a total of 56 degrees of freedom," and is made from a "highly elastic and rigid (!?) material called Septom, with bits of steel wool mixed in for added strength." Neat concept, but I feel sorry for the poor bastard whose face was used in the picture, because that may very well be the world's ugliest mug.

Big whoopidie-doo. I could alter my own face to match anyone's if it were surrounded by a huge cube of hydraulic machinery.

And I don't have to follow up on the "world's ugliest mug" joke opportunity, right? You all with me?
