MoodStream is exactly what it says! Relax or get inspired
Drawing from the vast pool of Getty Images videos, photos and audio, MoodStream is a flash application that combines sound and vision according to your mood and settings. I did not expect to end up looking at this cute application for so long! You can tune MoodStream according to current level of happiness, how calm you are, whether you feel good at the moment about humour, level of warmth, type of transitions, b&w assets and audio characteristics.
Getting all these right for your mood can result in some enjoyable full screen fun that requires very little input from your side and can have a relaxing effect. As far as inspiration is concerned, it is like that to some degree also. What makes things so cool, is the unpredictability of clips and still photos you get, but narrow your choices and these -at least for now- can get few and very repetitive.
Save what you like in moodboards, if you are bored to do anything you can click on the preset mood wheel, choose one of the six options and just sit back and relax! MoodStream is one of those small applications that reminds me that technology in no way needs to be stressful and intensive. Great effort, definitely something for everybody to check, especially when at work!
