    Annotation We present a methodology and our plans of anthropomorphic social agent visualization. That includes the creation of the three-dimensional model of the virtual companion's head and its facial expressions. Talking Head is a cross-disciplinary project of developing the human-machine interface with cognitive functions. During the creation of a realistic humanoid robot or a character, there might be the« uncanny valley« problem. We think about this phenomenon and its possible causes. We are going to overcome the “uncanny valley” by increasing of realism. This article discusses issues that should consider when creating highly realistic characters (particularly the head), its facial expressions and speech visualization.
