The technology of lifeClipper2 is based on a portable computer system with D-GPS and an Inertial System. A “Head Mounted Display” (HMD) – including screens the size of glasses, cameras, a microphone and headsets – displays information according to the position and the line of sight of the user. The surroundings are filmed while images and sounds are processed in real time. Additional images, sound recordings, videos and 3D models with virtual content partially overlay the captured images of reality and compose an augmented experience. Users retrieve these virtual elements on their tour through the staged public space. They are able to interact with the production by means of altering their position, their line of sight, their walking pace or by using a handheld device. The coordinates of the virtual 3D space are calibrated with those of the real world according to position (x, y, z) and line of sight (u, v, w) of the user. Thus, six degrees of freedom of interaction are created. Narrative elements such as 3D objects, sequences of images, and sound are positioned in space and embedded in the real surroundings.
