Realism is something that comes to mind when thinking about hyperreality, the word reality being the main connection of course. The philosophers who profess realism often claim that truth consists in a correspondence between cognitive representations and reality. (what we see to be true and previous knowledge that we have to come to the conclusion that something is real). They also believe that what we know now is only an approximation of reality as our knowledge can become enriched and can create a deeper understanding with time. This contrasts to the concept of Idealism, using fundamentally mentally constructed.
I'm not sure if I'm overthinking this concept, but I think that the concept of realism blends the hyperreality into the reality so you find it hard to differentiate which is hyperreality. This is because a realist would take what they see to be true and what they understand to be true and draw conclusions from that, so if they see the hyperreal, which is created from models (which we've had experience with) and then see them in real life, we'd assume that was just reality.
