That's not really how I'd describe it. The only thing that could make this creepier is if there were also disembodied robot hands on the table that reach out to grasp yours in awkward handshakes.

It reminds me a of the various RoboCop Twos from Robocop 2.

besides the weirdness/innovative aspect, why did they add such visible, angled bezels? Make them thinner, make them black.
