Director

your personal design studio

Current designer’s workflows involves analog sketching, digitial sketching, 3d modeling, and rendering. Switching between these various mediums slows down the process and inhibits creativity. We built Director as a tool that allows designers to sketch, 3d model, and visualize their ideas in minutes.

At the moment, users interact with generative AI programs through a web based platform by inputting text prompts and images. Dreamer imagines this technology in a new form factor, allowing users to scroll through visual styles, and click to capture their favorite image similar to a camera. This change in context allows for a more personalized viewing experience reminiscent of the View-Master toy. The form of the device is soft, like a pebble, inviting users to pick it up and look through the lenses.
