After the discussion on future scenarios, have been thinking about the potential applications of HyperReality and immersive technologies more. If the "frames" are to disappear, what will be the implications...

• What will be the predominant use for the technology? What will it be a replacement for?
• Who will decide the boundaries of its development?
  
• How will our sensory apprehension of the world be altered if we cannot know whether a tactile environment has been computer generated or is real? How do we currently determine what is a "real" experience?
  
• Will it lead to a challenge to design more for senses such as sound and taste rather than predominantly visual? At the moment these are barriers to a "believable" virtual reality experience
