Hyperreality Examples


  • A magazine photo of a model that has been touched up with a computer.
  • Films in which characters and settings are either digitally enhanced i.e the entire film was shot in front of a blue/green screen, with all settings super-imposed.
  • Professional sports athletes as super, invincible versions of the human beings.
  • A retail store that looks completely stocked and perfect due to facing, creating a world of endless identical products.
  • A newly made building or item designed to look old, or to recreate or reproduce an older artifact, by simulating the feel of age or aging.
  • Second Life The distinction becomes blurred when it becomes the platform for RL (Real Life) courses and conferences, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings or leads to real world interactions behind the scenes.
  • Weak virtual reality which is greater than any possible simulation of physical reality.
