Lifemods

The most renowned type of art in the Corvosphere is the creation of lifemods for AR helmets and implants. 
Lifemods completely recreate the appearance of reality for the user, allowing for a personal and interesting way of experiencing life. This allows for fans of certain games, books, films, etc., to see life around them as if they were living in their favourite piece of fiction, making the urban environment of Tiantang look like an underwater city or a jungle - with buildings as trees or mountains. Most people use lifemods of some kind, and some very powerful ones can even change the looks of people, not only things.
Using lifemods has its risks: lifemods that are in beta or that have not passed all required safety tests can disrupt the user’s experience of reality in a harmful way. For example, when someone crosses a road and a certain model of car is not recognised by the AR, the lifemod could glitch and make the car appear to be immobile. It is recommended to keep lifemods up to date and only use those sold by recognised companies, as hackers can very well affect how others see reality. And there are plenty of lifemods created by coders or pirates, as their way to express themselves and their view of the world. Some might change street advertisements into anti-system messages, while others list the horrors that take place to create such products (such as child labour, slavery, abuse, and the pollution of alien planets). 
Lifemods are fantastic ways for workers to escape their routine. Some days their work place will look like a tranquil forest and other days like an epic volcano. It has by far become one of the most used and sold types of softwares.
