In Matrix, the operator is not controlling robot, but virtual image of the self – an avatar in the computer generated reality, similar to the game. The avatar is able to do more than human, as the limits in virtual reality are set by the human mind, and since the operators are hacking the system rules (can be thought of as use of cheat codes), the avatars are able to circumvent the rules. The connection of operator and avatar is through the neural interface, which expectantly transfers the neural impulses from operators brain directly into the program, and also can send the feedback impulses back, therefore the operator is able to perceive the world with the senses and feel the pain. Furthermore, if the avatar of the operator is killed in the matrix, the operator will die as well.
On the Figure 2 there are devices used to connect to the surrogate from the film Surrogates and the robot from รีลสตีล shadowing its trainer.
