    I was again project lead on this headline application and created the entire UX and UI from scratch, as well as creating intricate artwork for clocks and replica Ferrari dashboards for the simulator feature. I also developed a unique method so that bank notes could be used as AR markers. This made the feature vastly more accessible than otherwise would be the case.

  • Dream:ON

    - Present

    Dream:ON is a real scientific experiment and psychological experience in one. It now has a huge number of participants from around the world.

    Research has shown that most our dreams occur during REM sleep and that your mind is particularly alert to other senses during this stage of sleep. So we developed Dream:ON to take advantage of this by first detecting and analysing your movement whilst sleeping, and then playing a chosen dream soundscape to you at strategic times in your sleep…

    Dream:ON is a real scientific experiment and psychological experience in one. It now has a huge number of participants from around the world.

    Research has shown that most our dreams occur during REM sleep and that your mind is particularly alert to other senses during this stage of sleep. So we developed Dream:ON to take advantage of this by first detecting and analysing your movement whilst sleeping, and then playing a chosen dream soundscape to you at strategic times in your sleep cycle.

    We have recorded over 11 million dreams (and counting) globally, and will analyse the data to see what the world is dreaming of, and what exactly affects our dreams.

    Dream:ON has been featured across the world by the BBC, LA Times, Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Telegraph, Mashable, T3, Sky News and hundreds of international media outlets. It was co-launched at the Edinburgh International Science Festival 2012 by psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman from the University of Hertfordshire.
