Remediation

Remediation in media is the using or representing of one or multiple types of media to form one type of media.

Immediacy - The first way media re-mediates old media. This is where the focus is on realism, and attempts to draw the person into the world pictured or displayed. The interface of the media should be "transparent" and hidden from the person, so it does not interfere with the interaction of the media itself.

Hypermediacy - The second way media re-mediates old media. The opposite of Immediacy, the media draws the user towards the interface rather than away from it. While Immediacy focuses on imagery, Hypermediacy focuses on the HUD, referencing to things outside of itself.
