This paper is an anthropological perspective on the impact of Dual, Mixed Reality and 'PolySocial Reality' (PoSR) on Location Awareness and other applications in Smart Environments. We intend to initiate a friendly interdisciplinary discussion on the interaction aspects and cultural implications surrounding these new forms of integrated technologies. Anthropologists examine human group behavior in the context of culture. Because the LAMDa workshop is addressing 'group behavior,' we will contribute to the workshop with our understanding of humans, culture and group behavior and to learn from others what type of group behavior is expected as new technologies and their subsequent experiences are created for human use. When we discuss human group behavior, we refer to the definition of a social group: a collection of humans who repeatedly interact within a system. Humans can, and do switch context between environments and blend traces of one into the other in a socially unconscious manner often seemingly simultaneously. We propose that the cultures and behaviors of humans are increasingly actively permeating Internet and networkbased applications, as well as those that are geolocal. With the future Internet of things, Dual Reality and Mixed Reality, the opportunity for humans to extend their own blended reality, as well as to create new ones is unfolding. That said, because humans interact within groups, the multiplexing of their mutual blended realities rapidly creates a PoSR. Sorting out the relationships between realities as well as between synchronous and asynchronous time and geolocal space can create a condition where realities are simultaneous and the idea of 'x' can be perceived as equaling 'not x.' We explore this new type of interoperability between virtual and physical, ideational and material, representations and objects and culture.
