"Anthropomorphism is the ability to see a face in anything. Whether it's seeing Jesus on a grilled cheese sandwich, or just seeing faces in cars by looking at their headlights as eyes. It's fairly common for humans to look for faces - we developed this pattern-matching ability to recognize predators in the wild... now we're using it to create the funniest PS5 controller stands ever."
"The 'Face' as PRINTMOTION calls it, is a fairly simple stand that turns your PS5 into an odd face, with the joypads becoming eyes and the hand grips on the side being the world's silliest pairs of pigtails. I honestly don't know what makes this particular design so funny, but it's probably the juxtaposition of something as advanced as a PlayStation controller against something as silly as a fairly blank face staring at you with absolutely zero thought behind those eyes."
Humans commonly project faces onto objects due to anthropomorphism, a pattern-matching ability evolved to detect predators. PRINTMOTION designed a 3D-printable PS5 controller stand called the 'Face' that uses paired joypads as eyes and side hand grips as pigtails, producing a comical, oddly human visage. The stand file sells on CULTS3D for $4.39 and allows unlimited personal prints, color and material choices, and optional modifications such as a charging pass-through, nosering, or moustache. Reactions range from amused to unsettled, with comparisons to Victorian attire and Lovecraftian oddness, and suggestions to make the face appear more self-aware.
