# Photographic Dream Generators Google's DeepDream Converts Images into Visual Dream Interpretations By M | Published 2016-03-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-generator References: [brit.co](http://www.brit.co/google-deepdream/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=google-deepdream) & [deepdreamgenerator](http://deepdreamgenerator.com/) The DeepDream online platform is a project put together by [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/imagen-2) that offers consumers the opportunity to test out a [visual dream generator](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamina). The software converts images and the objects highlighted within to create a surreal and psychedelic visual interpretation. The end result leaves users with a series of warped images that are morphed into one another to create a psychedelic and celestial set of illustrations vaguely familiar to the original, but worlds away as well. The online platform encourages users to upload images and then input what the main identifiable objects in the scene are. The software then [transforms the image](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/imagenai) into a morphing of the original playing around with shapes, textures and colors. The platform is part of a bigger project by Google, that hopes one day images will be able to be classified by search engines simply based on viewing them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Visual Dream Generators:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced AI technologies that can create visually stunning and personalized dream interpretations. - **Surreal Image Conversion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create software or platforms that transform regular images into psychedelic and celestial illustrations for artistic and creative purposes. - **Image-based Search Classification:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Research and develop algorithms that can classify images based on visual content, enabling more advanced image-based search capabilities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Artificial Intelligence:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply AI technologies to transform image interpretation and generate unique visual outputs. - **Digital Art & Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Foster the creation of digital art tools that leverage image conversion techniques to produce surreal and artistic illustrations. - **Search Engine Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Improve search engines' image classification capabilities, allowing for more accurate and efficient search results based on visual content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI Art Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deepseek-image.md) - [AI Art Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/imagen-2.md) - [AI Image Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deepimg-ai.md) - [AI-Generated Selfies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreambooth.md) - [AI Art Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamchanted.md) - [AI Dream Interpreters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-describer.md) - [AI-Generated Image Backgrounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapchat-6.md) - [AI Product Image Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-product-studio.md) - [Generative AI-Powered Hand-Held Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-handheld-camera.md)
