LifeClipper
LifeClipper is an augmented reality system created by new media organisation 'Plug.In' from off the shelf components. The individual parts are: Portable computer, head mounted display, video camera, mic, GPS sensor, compass and pressure sensors.
When moving around, the system uses GPS co-ordinates to trigger images for the user, so that they may look at at an area of interest and have images of the past for example brought up in their display. Many users have described it like living in a movie.
At present this technology is limited to Basel, Switzerland although the creators Jan Torpus and Nikolas Neecke hope to bring it to other venues.
