In ‘Present Mode’ you can create a journey to show milestones in your thinking process. The programme incorporates a ‘Do Mode’ which translates the thinking on the sphere into list form for when your thoughts need to be translated into actions.

These include Windows, Mac OS, iOS and iPhone, Android for tablets and phones, and Linux. Spheres can also be shared privately with others, so that the programme can be used for collaborative team-thinking worldwide, in real or lapsed time and across multiple platforms. Each sphere has it’s own URL and can be easily published to the web, creating in effect, a 3D spherical website or can be embedded in existing websites. It is also easy to add links by dragging and dropping URL’s from Websites and cloud-based files and to continue building the process. This engenders extra lateral thinking, which is then uploaded to the sphere. Whatever problem or issue there is to be resolved, you begin by rapid brainstorming (free-thinking) in the programme’s ‘Think Mode’, then may examine these thoughts from multiple perspectives.

The software platform is also easily searched, accessible via multiple devices, and can be shared and used for collaborative team thinking and research. Thortspace uses a compelling immersive 3D environment within which anyone can learn by discovery It generates an interactive space rich in subject-specific content, where you can not only be inspired to explore your subject at macro and micro levels, but also have the ability to draw on researched information from the internet and add it to your own 3D space. An ideal solution would be a 3D thought processing environment, running on current flat screen technology and using common hardware available to all. In this increasingly complex technical world it becomes ever more difficult to focus on particular issues and to solve difficult problems with any clarity of thought and purpose. Hard as it may be to envisage, new AR hardware could conceivably replace desktops, laptops, tablets and smart-phones, but the transition from flat screen to these new 3D environments for mainstream computer users, will be an enormous leap. The investment in AR and VR by large-scale hardware companies such as Microsoft, Google and Facebook is enormous and they will, no doubt, soon be vigorously selling these computer wearables all around the world. Mind mapping is a good example and much work has been done latterly into the psychology of visual thinking. We have been using graphical images for the past few hundred years by drawing on paper and more recently on a tablet or white-board.
