lifeClipper[1][2] is an augmented reality outdoor art project created by the Basel-based artist Jan Torpus in 2004, utilising an immersive wearable head-mounted display (HMD) system built from off-the-shelf components.
When moving around, the system uses GPS co-ordinates to trigger images and sounds for the user, so that they may look at an area of interest and have impressions of the past for example brought up in their display.
lifeClipper3[4][5][6] (Basel, 2009-2011) is based on technology and findings of the precedent lifeClipper projects and includes a breath biofeedback sensors for interaction.
The last one of the lifeClipper series is a game-like piece of new media art which is implemented in St. Johanns Park in Basel, Switzerland.
Shifts between everyday life conventions and a fantastic parallel universe with different physical and cultural rules create interference and question the visitor's perception of reality.
