Telephones are a primitive form of HyperReality. The head and hands of the girl are inside a phone booth which provides a coaction field where the girl is in PR but the voice of the person she is talking to is virtual. Where that person is, the girl on the bicycle is virtual. This is to assume that the girl on the bike is talking to another human. However she could be dialing some telecommunication service that uses AI with speech recognition to answer frequently asked questions.

The world around us is becoming a HyperReality. As Terashima forecast, avatars can show real people around real or virtual apartments, demonstrate real or virtual cars, explain real or virtual goods. Telemedicine envisages doctors interviewing, examining, diagnosing, prescribing and monitoring patients at a distance. Today they need a locum for any physical intervention, but in time this could be a robotized version of a nurse or doctor imbued with professional paradigms.

What other capability could HyperReality have? Dr Minako OHagan, the prophet of the paradigm of teletranslation,[x] forecasts that machine translation systems will enable people within a HR to communicate directly, regardless of language differences. Prof Nadia Magnenat-Thalmann, the prophet of virtual humans, has virtual people dancing with human counterparts.[xi]She once told me how she hoped that sometime in the future when she was long dead, her great, great, great, grandchildren would be able to whisper her name at night and her virtual persona would step out of the shadows to sit by the bedside, tell story after story until they fell asleep and then watch over them.
