Thortspace diverges from conventional mind-mapping and concept-mapping software in a number of ways: * Maps are structured around the surfaces of one or more spheres which are presented to the user in 3D * Map-nodes (called "thorts" in the product) can be associated in groups according to proximity, as well as connected by paths * Paths can be made to connect thort to group, thort to thort, group to group, thort to sphere, group to sphere, sphere to sphere * Multiple alternative arrangements of subsets of nodes can be stored and transitioned between * The concept of "Journeys" allows a series of viewpoints of maps in the 3D space to be visited sequentially, so as to make something of the form of a presentation * The product supports a rudimentary implementation of social networking and a newsfeed that allows users to track their own and others contributions across collaborative spheres Some of Thortspace's notable features: * Supports a consistent interface and data sharing across all major operating system platforms and devices. Thortspace goes beyond 3D mind mapping to reflect how minds work.

THORTSPACE OFFLINE
Thortspace is 3D Collaborative Online and Offline Mind Mapping - a visual thinking tool for creative brainstorming, problem solving, collaborative research, education, and just generally thinking about stuff. While it is probably fair to say that the bigger the screen you use Thortspace on, the better the experience you get when using it, using Thortspace on a smaller screens has turned out to be surprisingly ok for some people, especially as we have now started to eliminate some of the worse usability issues in the App. For example if you were out and about you could add some Thorts to a sphere when they occured to you, but then wait to get home or back to your office before you really put those Thorts into the places where they belonged, edited your Categories or Arrangements and considered their connections with Paths. Initially the Mobile versions of the Thortspace App were thought to be a supporting addition to the Desktop versions. Thortspace enables breakthrough collaborative thinking, whenever and wherever you need it most. Thortspace is the world's first 3D collaborative mind mapping software.
