Added a prospective (future) memory trainer for MILD. Every morning, you receive a list of specific targets to look out for during your day. You then memorize the day’s targets, hide the list, and aim to remember to carry out the future intention of capturing the targets. Once you encounter one of the targets, you snap a picture and perform a state test (like asking yourself, “Am I dreaming?”) to earn XP.
Added live feedback for face-detection and a smart mirror. When face-detection is enabled, the algorithm only looks for variances inside the face region to rule out false positives.
Made the LED behavior configurable and documented the details under LED Settings.

Added REM detection and the stairway to heaven that indicates how many eye movements have been counted. The algorithm runs on the chip of the smart camera itself, independently from the phone it is connected to, but also streams the motion and eye-movement data over Bluetooth in real time.

The inspec can now be configured to connect to a WiFi network or broadcast its own access point. This allows real-time video streaming to connected mobile devices.
Also added camera settings that can be controlled via the Bluetooth connection.

The night-vision smart-camera with the on-board rem-detection algorithm can now connect to the Lucid Scribe App via Bluetooth! I cut out a few frames as the rem-detection data lags when the image is transferred, but can make that happen in parallel as the image bytes are already sent over multiple packets, just need to sneak them in between. The camera capture is more for getting the camera positioned and focused correctly, after that it sends new images infrequently and only needs to stream the movement data and images captured when eye movement patterns are detected.

Added some usage graphs and increased the FILD timeout to one minute to give the hypnagogic hallucinations time to mature.
I dusted off the mobile version of Lucid Scribe. Added some mindfulness exercises and a finger-induced lucid dream (FILD) exercise where you gently tap on the screen to reset a countdown timer and it vibrates and plays a piano track if you drift off during FILD. And keeps track of progress and stuff! I might upload it to the stores after some testing…
Some more instructions:
Wake up in the middle of the night and then go back to bed. When you are tired and about to drift off again, launch the app and then place your fingers on the screen and pretend that you are playing piano or typing on a keyboard. The trick is to move your fingers as gently as possible to reset the countdown until the audio track is played.
Every few minutes, especially when you hear the audio track play, perform a reality check: try to push your index finger through the phone or use your other hand to pinch your nose closed and try to breathe through it.
