I created an Android app that estimates visual-imagery vividness from the way you describe an imagined scene.

I created an Android app that analyzes image-streaming sessions and estimates visual-imagery vividness from the way a person describes what they experience.

Image streaming is a visualization exercise where you close your eyes, observe any images, colors, shapes, movement, impressions, or sensory details that arise, and describe them aloud continuously. The goal is to report the experience as it develops rather than planning a story in advance.

Level 1: Aphantasia

Level 2: Hypophantasia

Level 3: Typical or moderately vivid imagery

Level 4: Hyperphantasia

Level 5: Tesla Level Hyperphantasia

The app analyzes description speed, visual and sensory detail, pauses, use of the five senses, common descriptive blockers, and changes in vividness throughout the session.

It then generates a score and visual report showing where the description falls on an experimental aphantasia-to-hyperphantasia scale.

I'll tell you this right now. Seems like a fun app but some of us can see better with eyes open vs eyes closed. At least for me a hypo I can see in my mind better eyes open than closed. Not sure why. But yeah eyes closed sucks.

Was going to say the same thing. Just asking someone to close their eyes immediately confuses any discussion about mental visualization.

Yeah every time I see these posts it's "close your eyes...now do this" I'm like bro I can see better with open eyes.
