A virtual reality encounter system is described. A first surrogate supporting at least one first camera that captures image data from a first physical location and a second surrogate supporting at least one second camera that captures second image data from the first physical location. Aliasing substitution processing has a computing system including a processor receive the first image data and detect an image of the second surrogate in the first image data and replace the image data of the second surrogate in the first physical location, with image data of a user in the first physical location to form a transformed image that substitutes the image data of the user for the image data of the second surrogate.
