Description 

lifeClipper2 is an Augmented Reality project. It offers an audiovisual walking experience in a virtually extended public space. The project invites to a virtual extended promenade. A futuristic high-tech goggles projects additional visual effects depending on the position and the viewdirection of the user.
It offers an audiovisual walking experience in a virtually extended public space.

Through a set of sensors to be a continuous and accurate detection of possible HMD's (head of the beholder, position and look direction) allows. The hybrid tracking system consists of a GPS receiver, 3-D acceleration sensor (tri-axial acceleration sensor), and 3-D compass (3-Axis Magnetic Sensor modules). The raw data should be using appropriate algorithms for continuous position and the direction data to be processed and sent to the engine and Behavior Render Engine forwarded.

Technically it is based on a portable computer system, which amongst other things includes a Head Mounted Display and D-GPS. lifeClipper2 will be applied to sites of cultural heritage and urban city planning in Basel, Switzerland. Within the chosen site points of special interest get elaborated and different layers of information overlaid and staged for experience.
