I have no idea what service or product this company is offering, but their website has this creepy little feature lower down on the right side.

Just hover your mouse pointer over the CGI Woman (without clicking play) and she follows it around with her eyes. Perhaps this is some revolutionary new technology but the effect is creepy. Uncanny Valley indeed.

That's pretty cool (and creepy). As i know nothing about programming I have no idea how they did that.

The effect is older than dirt, actually.
