Maybe it's to explore a new world. Maybe it's to be better and stronger than before. Or maybe it's a mistake and it leaves the person Trapped in Another World.
Regardless of why, this trope involves a person who can be (or who is) downloaded into a remote interface to interact with others or another world better (or at all). This other self is otherwise an Empty Shell that does nothing. Sometimes when the remote version of himself is damaged or killed, he is hurt/killed back at home or in 'reality', but the idea is, while the main body 'sleeps', a different body acts and works remotely by his commands. This is used to play games, interact with computers, or interact with an alien world.

.hack is normally about an MMO played with a head-mounted display, but players have their minds drawn into their avatars whenever the game's undocumented features kick in. That said, even when the game is operating normally, characters often act as if this trope were in effect, particularly in anime and manga stories. As the franchise progresses, the effects of being trapped in the game escalate towards nearly supernatural heights.

The plot of Surrogates has this happen on a global scale in everyday life- everyone uses the titular robot bodies to go around, while their real bodies are kept inside their homes.
