Overview
Inception, released earlier this year, got itself talked about a whole lot, with its collapsible dream worlds and abstracted realities. Now a new mobile app has been released which brings Inception to you and your phone. A collaboration between the film’s director, Christopher Nolan, composer Hans Zimmer and RJDJ CEO Michael Breidenbrucker, the app promises to transform the world around you into a dream world. Which sounds delightful.
The Inception app uses software that draws in and remixes the sounds from the world around you, and triggers or unlocks ‘dream’ states based not only on audio input, but on your speed, the time and date, the place you’re in and the levels of light in your surroundings. Walking around, as you would with an iPod, the app, which incidentally calls itself a dream machine, aims to distort your reality and make you feel like you’re lost in one of your own dreams. Whether or not this will make your actual dreams come to life is a completely different matter. But if you see somebody on the street plugged into an iphone, appearing to be chased by a gang of ravenous spiders that only they can see, you can now rest assured they are playing in their dream machines.
