In conclusion, I have come to realise how uncertain the future of animation. Will technology ever be able to overcome the Uncanny Valley and produce simulated images so believable, it is impossible to tell from real life? As my findings have shown, cartoon representations of humans in animation build a bigger rapport than the type of simulated humans as featured in films such as “Final Fantasy” As Lister commented, the possibilities for technology in the future are almost boundless, yet it could all descend into a hollow interpretation of real life today. Part of the appeal of CGI film and other media sources like video games is the element of escapism from day to day life or “switching off” and trying to replicate the real world, causing it to descend into a “spiral of superficiality” paints a bleak future for the world of interactive media.
