System

The technology of lifeClipper3 is based on the lifeClipper2 system. Major hardware changes between the two systems included the replacement of the GPS device and cameras, and the implementation of a biofeedback system. The potential of the software was improved by combining Virtools and Max/MSP. The components are shown below:
