📹 An AI-Powered Gadget Turns Your Dreams Into Videos
Dutch design studio Modem Works created the Dream Recorder—a device that transforms your dreams into short, surreal video clips.
Place it next to your bed and tell it what you dreamed about when you woke up. The Dream Recorder records your story, sends it to ChatGPT to turn it into a script, and then uses Luma AI to generate a trippy video that feels like a dream.
You can watch the videos on the device, and they are also stored automatically in a personal dream journal built into the system.
The project is fully open-source, so anyone can build one themselves. A comprehensive guide on GitHub includes the software, 3D-printable case instructions, and a shopping list of components, such as a Raspberry Pi single-board computer, screen, cables, and a microphone. The parts cost around €285 (about $310) on Amazon.
The Dream Recorder relies on paid APIs from OpenAI and Luma AI, but generating a single dream video costs only about 15 cents.
