Pallette and UT Pallette are $50,000 Japanese mannequins that change their pose when they “sense” people looking at them. It’s all based on motion capture with proximity sensors at the moment but their designer Tatsuya Matsu, boss of Flower Robotics says that future versions will feature face recognition.
”It makes the product the mannequin wears look more attractive, increasing consumers’ appetite to buy”. He also says “Consumer attention would be diverted to the face if there were one.” which explains why they look the way they do. They’re avoiding the uncanny valley.
