The Real World is the physical world outside of the TRON system, it is home to the users. The people who inhabit the real world build and maintain the servers that contain the worlds of the Game Grid on the ENCOM mainframe, and the TRON system on servers under Flynn's Arcade. Very few people in the real world are aware of the existence of the digital worlds, populated with their own anthropomorphic personalities, the programs. The few who are aware of what happens in inside the system are usually those who have been digitized to effectively be transported into a digital world.
Two companies feature prominently within the real world aspect of the TRON Universe. The most notable is ENCOM, a multi-national software giant with subdivisions involved in gaming, and business and home computing. The other is FCon from TRON 2.0, another software company, and one that is regarded as non-canon.
