Abstract
Recently researchers at the University of Illinois coupled a real pendulum to its virtual counterpart. They observed that the two pendulums suddenly start to move in synchrony if their lengths are sufficiently close. In this synchronized state, the boundary between the real system and the virtual system is blurred, that is, the pendulums are in a mixed reality state. An instantaneous, bidirectional coupling is a prerequisite for mixed reality states. In this article we explore the implications of mixed reality states in the context of controlling real-world systems.
