I’m sure we’ve all seen those Internet ads with characters that follow your mouse pointer with their head, or eyes. Kinda creepy no? Well, this one , which I’ve dubbed ‘Zombie Girl’, just takes the cake as the creepiest one of them all. I’m not sure if its the bloodshot eyes, or the robotic facial expressions, but I’m strangely disturbed by this.

Apparently the technology is called "Motion Portrait", and its being used throughout Japan in various forms including television shows, commercials, schools, and even the recently released Bandai Namco PSP Game "Lian Palace promise HARUHI".

Perhaps they can one day be used to keep old people company while they sit in their nursing homes…maybe even custom made Motion Portraits of family members, or their favorite movie stars? I think I’ll keep Zombie Girl running on my 2nd monitor to creep some people out.
