Examples of hyperreality

- films in which characters and settings are either digitally enhanced or created entirely from CGI e.g. the film 300 was filmed entirely in front of a blue screen.

- a well manicured garden (nature as hyperreal)

- professional sports athletes as super, invincible versions of human beings.

- Many fake places around the world, e.g. disney land, Las vegas.

- TV and film in general, especially reality TV, due to its creation of a world of fantasy and its dependence that the viewer will engage with these fantasy worlds, the current trend is to glamorise the mundane using histrionics.

- A retail store that looks completely stocked and perfect due to facing, creating a world of endless identical products.

- A high end sex doll used as a simulacrum of an unattainable partner.

- A newly made building or item designed to look old, or to recreate or reproduce an older artefact, by simulating the feeling of age or ageing.
