# REMind (Mockup Demo)
|
||||
# REMind - Dream Analysis & VR Experience Platform
|
||||
|
||||
🚧 **This is a MOCKUP / DEMO APPLICATION for a university project – no real backend, AI features, or data storage.** 🚧
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
REMind is an interactive, front-end prototype that showcases dream journaling, AI-powered analysis (simulated), and immersive VR demonstrations. Built with React, TypeScript, Vite, and Tailwind CSS, it’s designed for demos and concept validation only.
|
||||
> **🚧 IMPORTANT: This is a MOCKUP/DEMO APPLICATION for a university project**
|
||||
> **No real backend, AI features, or data storage. All functionality is simulated for demonstration purposes.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Features (all mockup/demo only)
|
||||
## Project Overview
|
||||
|
||||
- **(Mockup)** Dream Journal
|
||||
Record dreams as text entries, voice memos, or sketches—UI only, no persistence.
|
||||
- **(Mockup)** AI Analysis
|
||||
Simulated “Here the AI would analyze your dream…” step with instant, hard-coded interpretations, symbol recognition, and emotion tagging.
|
||||
- **(Mockup)** Personal Archive
|
||||
Browse and filter past mock entries by date, symbols, emotions, or tags.
|
||||
- **(Mockup)** Statistics \& Trends
|
||||
Visualize frequent symbols, emotional patterns, and simulated sleep-cycle correlations using dummy data.
|
||||
- **(Mockup)** VR Dreamscapes
|
||||
Enter 3D scenes built with React Three Fiber—explore thematic environments (labyrinths, dark rooms) in browser-based VR mode.
|
||||
- **Responsive Design**
|
||||
Works on desktop browsers(design optimized for mobile) and mobile devices. Ideal for QR-code launches at demos.
|
||||
REMind is an innovative interactive prototype that explores the intersection of dream analysis, artificial intelligence,
|
||||
and virtual reality. The application demonstrates how modern technology could revolutionize dream journaling and
|
||||
interpretation through immersive experiences and intelligent analysis.
