Hyperreality is design-centric skeuomorphic experience that exists in an increasingly fault-tolerant user experience in which objects are being deconstructed to their mimetic attributes. A tangible example of this is the touch-screen keypad replacing the flip phone keypad.

This has measurable impact on cultural consumers; who now define a product as an intersection between form and function (analogous to whole and sum-of-parts unity in modernism). Form-function unity induces a parallel revolution in material design and composition. (Even the term “material design” is an oxymoron in [postmodernism].)

The increasing prevalence of skeuomorphs in disparate [technological] contexts and mediums means that culturally, the fake converges with the real in a hyperreality or augmented-reality-as-an-interface [existence]. This is evidenced by the rise of virtual reality, Google glass, Pokemon Go, virtual geo-cache incentivization, and most significantly, false social nodes (filter bubbles) created by online [social networks] that have an off-world impact.

Created by Rene Girard's theory of mimetics, Rene Baudrillard's Simulacra, and Kashif Vikaas's Theory of Hypermodernism.
