'Shirley zips into her skin-tight school uniform, which on the outside looks something like a ski suit. The lining of the suit in fact contains cabling that makes the suit a communication system and there are pressure pads where the suit touches skin that give a sense of touch. Next, she sits astride something that is a bit like a motorbike, except that it has no wheels and is attached firmly to the floor. Her feet fit on to something similar to a brake and accelerator and her gloved hands hold onto handlebars. She shouts, "I'm off to school, Dad." Her father, who is taking time out from...

What comes after the Internet? Imagine a world where it is difficult to tell if the person standing next to you is a physical reality, and whether they have human intelligence or artificial intelligence. HyperReality offers a window into the world of the future, an interface between the natural and artificial. Nabuyoshi Terashima led the team that developed the prototype HyperReality and the technology that makes this possible, and along with John Tiffin, a leading expert on the applications of HyperReality in education and entertainment, and a list of contributors from around the globe, they...

'HyperReality is a technological capability like nanotechnology, human cloning and artificial intelligence. Like them, it does not as yet exist in the sense of being clearly demonstrable and publicly available. Like them, it is maturing in laboratories where the question "if" has been replaced by the question "when?" and like them, the implications of its appearance as a basic infrastructure technology are profound and merit careful consideration.' - Nobuyoshi Terashima What comes after the Internet? Imagine a world where it is difficult to tell...

This text is about the shift from the contemporary university of the nation state to the global virtual university of the future. The authors launched their idea of virtual universities on the internet with the publication of In Search of the Virtual Class in 1995. Since then, virtual universities have multiplied worldwide. This book, based on material gathered from research projects carried out in Japan, Brazil, USA, Australia and New Zealand, describes key aspects of the global university and presents a paradigm from which it might be constructed. the future will be virtual, global and...

This book is about the shift from the modern university of the nation state to the global virtual university of the future. John Tiffin and Lalita Rajasingham launched the idea of virtual universities on the Internet with the publication of 'In Search of the Virtual Class: Education in an Information Society' in 1995. Since then, virtual universities have multiplied worldwide. However, the authors argue that globalisation and the Internet are still in their infancy, and universities have yet to face the challenges of global free trade in broadband telecommunications, artificial intelligence...
