Abstract
This paper presents a pre-validated set of 12 static 3D stimuli for the needs of uncanny valley-related studies. We provide the set along with guidelines on how to use it, which are based on the aggregated data analysis covering previous laboratory and online studies. Guidelines cover the models’ characteristics (in terms of human-likeness and other visual traits), issues related to the stimuli presentation and study groups. As the set is publicly available, we believe that it enhances future studies aimed at replicating the uncanny valley effect.
