【正文】 ograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the Mona Lisa effect . That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person39。s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs. This is important for human interaction with onscreen characters. If you want someone off to the right side of a room to feel that a person onscreen is looking at him or her, you don39。t cut the gaze of the character to that side173。surprisingly, doing so would make an observer feel like the character isn39。t looking at anyone in the room at all. Instead, you keep the gaze straight ahead. Horstmann and his coauthor were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificialintelligence avatars(虛擬頭像) when Horstmann took a long look at the Mona Lisa and realized she wasn39。t looking at him. To make sure it wasn39。t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the Mona Lisa on a puter screen. They set a ruler between the viewer and the screen and asked the participants to note which number on the ruler intersected Mona Lisa39。s gaze. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa39。s gaze as she looked at the viewer, they moved the ruler farther from or closer to the screen during the study. Consistently, the researchers found, participants judged that the woman in the Mona Lisa portrait was not looking straight at them, but slightly off to their right. So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn39。t sure. It39。s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term Mona Lisa effect just thought it was a cool name.（1）It is generally believed that the woman in the painting Mona Lisa .

The robots are part of a set of hightech tools that Alibaba says strongly cuts the hotel39。s cost of human labour and eliminates the need for guests to interact with other people. Formally opened to the public last month, the 290room FlyZoo is an incubator for technology Alibaba wants to sell to the hotel industry in the future and an opportunity to showcase its prowess in artificial intelligence. It is also an experiment that tests consumer fort levels with unmanned merce in China. Inside the hotel, softlylit white panelled walls bring to mind the interiors of Hollywood spaceships. Guests check in at podiums that scan their faces, as well as passports or other ID. Visitors with a Chinese national ID can scan their faces using their smartphones to check in ahead of time. Elevators scan guests39。 faces again to verify which floor they can access and hotel room doors are opened with another face scan. It39。s very quick and safe. I haven39。t used it much yet, but basically, I can be in my room in one minute, said guest Tracy Li. Li added that safety was one of her priorities and she was pleased her room could only be entered with a scan of her face. In the rooms, Alibaba39。s voice mand technology is used to change the temperature, close the curtains, adjust the lighting and order room service. At the hotel39。s restaurant, taller capsuleshaped robots deliver food that guests have ordered via the FlyZoo app while at a separate bar, a large robotic arm can mix more than 20 different types of cocktails. Facial recognition cameras add charges to the room rate automatically. The hotel does employ humans, though Alibaba declined to detail how many. This includes chefs and
