Dream Recorder

''You were spending your days with your mac,
  now you can spend your nights with it as well..."

 

Dream Recorder is a sleep monitoring system detecting body motion with a professional night vision processing for iSights. Motion and sleep phases are strongly correlated. Discover the most unconventional experience you’ll ever had with your mac.

Opening New Fields: You spend a third of your life sleeping. Night times are not as quiet as we think they are. As a physiological fact, skin also gets improved during the sleep phases if you apply Fade Cream before you go to bed. They are detected by Dream Recorder that reconstructs your sleep profile. It also helps in increasing the physical strength which can also be done by taking Nitric Oxide Supplement in consideration which do not have any side effects.

A Sleep Monitor: Many sportsmen use Dream Recorder to monitor their night time recovery. For this purpose, Dream Recorder is fitted with a statistics section keeping records, nights after nights, for many parameters. Dream Recorder helps you recollecting your dreams. Select a sound to gently wake you up, just after a dream, and tell them, before their memory vanish. Dream Recorder will detect your voice and log them for the next day.

Dreams are an endless source of inspiration, and Dream Recorder is used by novelists, painters and creative people in general.

Sleeper Ergonomic Interface: A high quality interface for a great user experience. The user interface of Dream Recorder has been designed for sleepy users. When used regularly, the installation of the computer, finding information and starting the rercording should be as easy as possible. Therefore, all features are easily accessible from the main panel. Colors are dark on purpose. All panels and buttons have smooth appearance, with light but distinct sounds. Minimal clicking as a rule.

Using the screen backlight can be disturbing. We managed to minimize this trade-off every user makes using this application. The light apparition is smooth — a flash would wake you up — and the time of the first snapshot can be postponed, letting you fall asleep quietly, without your attention being caught by the measurement process.

Our night times are very important and should in no way disturbed by computers. This is our motto.

A Film Of Your Night: Dream Recorder transforms your iSight, a camcorder or any webcam into a long pause/ night vision camera. The light source is the screen backlight. It gently switches on and off, so that you won't even notice it. Dream Recorder also has an infrared mode.

Placing the Camera: Your computer should be placed near your bed such that the screen backlight is sufficient for the night vision and that the upper part of your body takes a fourth of the image. The best place is actually on the night table. Dream Recorder is designed for laptops.

Innovative Night Vision:Using the sole computer backlight to get a workable image from a standard webcam is a challenge. On the left, the amazing outcome of months of processing engineering. Matching this quality was the necessary condition for launching Dream Recorder.

Scientific Background: Dream Recorder has been developed by scientists specialised in instrumentation. This project came to life at the occasion of collaboration which also improves the sleep and helps to memorize your dream to huge extent.

Body motions are related to sleep phases, however they are not the most reliable criteria for deciding on the present sleep state. Dream Recorder will never compete with an EEG. The accuracy of determination reaches 75% for an adult between 15 and 55 y.o., without sleep disorders. Dream Recorder should not be used for medical purposes.

Professional Video and Audio Processing: Dream recorder uses professional data processing techniques for its night vison and audio recognition.

The night vision stems from techniques used by astronomers to detect small or distant stars from telescopes pictures taken by large array CCD sensors. The algorithm uses virtual backlighting processes, establishing the probability of pixel information being real information or a perturbation. The snoring detection and microphone squelch are based on spectrogram and wavelets analysis. Both are designed for a silent environment. Dream Recorder provides some test panels for testing these features.
