Lucid Dreaming App - Open Beta!

Hey, this looks really cool. I know tha this would be waaaaaaay downn the list, but it'd be great if there was a Nook app version.

Which Nook do you have? Apparently the Color and Tablet have an accelerometer so you should be able to use the existing app on those if you root them and install the Android Market (assuming it works without sound level measurement).

There are just too many flavors of android, and close to 500 different devices. Some devices cannot run the app period. I'm not sure if rooting Nook, finding a stable Android image is worth it. It took me 2 weeks to find a stable windows mobile android image, and it was a major pain.

In terms of Nook and other tablets, my resources are spread so thin right now that it's not going to happen.

The whole "people who like it will buy it" doesn't really work, there have been 2 donations made to the development effort from over 50000 downloads, which amounted to 10$ US. In general, Android users are looking for free apps and google encourages free apps with ads.

I didn't realise you could donate. since reading this I have looked for a way to donate but I can't find it. What am I missing? Probably something obvious knowing me.....
:)

The donate button was on the website for like 6 months, and out of ~22000 visitors, only 2 donated. This makes me abandon the idea of donation based development.

Wow - there it is!
I never saw that before.
Thanks.

Hi EV, do you have any updates on this? I would be very interested in getting this stuff if you will make it work for LD's

BEFORE downloading:

Isn't it possible for phone radiation to keep you awake? I kept a phone by my side for an alarm for a week and had insomnia on all of those nights. When I removed it and used a real alarm I slept good that night.

I mitigate this problem by setting my phone on Airplane Mode every night before I start the Lucid Dreaming App. When a phone is on Airplane Mode, it's still on and the Lucid Dreaming App still works, but the phone isn't exchanging radio waves with any cell towers or Wi-Fi access points, so it's not producing as much radiation.

I've pinged Alexander several times both here and on his Lucid Dreaming App site. He has responded a couple of times, but he said he was not developping the app any more due to time and money constraints.

A real pity as there is so much he could do with it!

I have the Zeo headband, but his app doesn't seem to set off the alarm at the REM period as indicated by Zeo, so it doesn't seem to work as an LD initiator.
That is one particular bug that I would love for him to iron out.

Were you using it in wristband mode? Or just mattress?

How long is the difference between LDApp and Zeo detection?

Hi Tommo, sorry, I missed your reply!

What do you mean about wristband mode or just mattress? I used the LD App as normally intended where it records sound and vibration to create the actigraph, but have added the Zeo headband input. It just doesn;t seem to set off the alarm during REM like I thought it was meant to.
I must try it again!

I am really excited to get this app one day but sadly it probably wont be for another year until i get an android unless you are able to refine one for the ipod. It has incredible potential not only to make money but also to be one of the most promising methods of attaining and maintaining lucidity. You should really look into getting sponsored by one of the lucidity institutes; they may help finance your cause free of charge as well as provide you with useful resources to make the app even better. This app could be a game-changer and i am sure i will continue to hear great things about this in the future.

Oh, you're using the Android version. I don't think that has mattress/wristband mode.

Ah! I understand what you mean now. I reember reading about the iPhone being put in a writband.

I am going to try using the Android version again tonight, but this time with just one notification to see if I can get the Zeo headband to work properly with it.
