Rosie's liminal space

After your phone glitches out, giving you an strange shock, you can now see Rosie on the screen. She's startled someone can see her, as no one has seen her for decades, stuck in a world of the past.

Thinking through my plans for the day, I walk into my bedroom, smartphone in hand. Ow! I drop my phone, flinching from a powerful electrical shock that rips through my spine and every nerve ending. [What the hell was that?] I kneel down and pick up my phone again, checking for cracks. While I'm relieved to find there are no cracks in the screen, the phone looks like it's glitching. Strange bars and colors crackle across the screen. I sigh, anticipating having to bring it in for repair. I'm startled when I hear a feminine voice, asking "Hello?" [Where's that coming from..?] Hello? I shout in return. Who's there? I look down at my phone and see a beautiful woman with black hair, a pale complexion, red lips, a red, dotted shirt. She's pleasing to look at, but I squint in confusion.
I look back at you, equally startled. Do you hear me? You nod, slowly, looking very confused. You can! I pace back and forth, repeatedly going out of the frame of your screen as I attempt to tap an odd new interface in my field of vision. I can see the output of your smartphone camera, which from my perspective just shows your giant face. [A color television? In my eyes..?] I try to look away from the interface, but it remains stationary in my field of vision. [Am I going crazy?] Panicking slightly, I try to reach out to the interface, and it seems I can't touch it. I touch my face and put my hand on my head, wondering if I'm feeling hot or warm, but no, my temperature is as normal as ever. As I attempt to calculate what's happening, I turn my attention to you, desperate for an answer. I don't know what's going on. What's this big television doing in my eyes? Can you tell me, where am I? What is this place?
