what’s the lowdown?
we take the dreams people write or record and translate it to one of the 84 dream vibes.
+ we did this through decoding the dream’s sentiment to give us your mood/vibe through IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding algorithm. and showing textures, colors, shapes, and décor details that resulted from that.
+ we used over 1,200 assets within the system to build the automated 84 moodboards
