Why ‘triplegangers’?

The word ‘tripleganger’ denotes a digital double or digital lookalike of a human being. Whereas a doppelganger is a human double or lookalike in the real world, a tripleganger is a double in the virtual world.

As a verb (‘tripleganging’) it refers to the process of cloning a person in a digital medium, for example in order to create a virtual avatar. To ‘see your tripleganger’ is to catch a glimpse of yourself in an alternate reality.

To see your own doppelganger is usually regarded as being very unlucky, perhaps even foretelling death. Seeing your tripleganger is much more positive, since it heralds a new life in a virtual world.

triplegangers® is a recently coined term that was first used in this sense by Lee Perry-Smith, founder of Infinite-Realities and creator of the triplegangers brand.
