Real 3D MindMap

This video shows a part of my personal implementation of 3D Mind Maps .
A P5 glove is used to create the map (branches, nodes, text, editings) and to explore it.
No mouse is used, only the glove.

Developed on Linux using OGRE engine ; )

It's only a sketch showing a (incomplete) 3D map about Van Gogh.

Please comment !

What will your program cost? It seems like a good software.

@Erling1956

ehm..the program is not for sale because it was just a research project leading to my thesis at the university.

btw thanks, glad that you liked it

Could anyone tell me what is the software that this 3D mindmap done with?

@provideasample

Hi. I wrote this program in C++ using OGRE rendering engine and various other libraries.

Wow! Impressive!

Can you make a video with you making the mind map with the glove? How much it costs a glove? Do you plan to resell the software?

(I'm quite curious...)

:-)

cheers

the glove is very cheap and not that accurate, that's why you need to filter the data (for example with Kalman).

I'm not developing it at the moment, but I plan to make a page about it in my future personal site, with some new features maybe.

thanks for commenting

this is closer to what i envisioned as 3d mindmapping than the very popular incarnation--a sort triangular(?) prism below prism..?

coupled with a 2d/flat adjustable(toggle hide for those impossibly long lists of 'siblings', 'cousins'..'cousin's cousins (mother's dad)'..) view, hither to connectors(+dare i dream it?connector Annotations xpppp) Plus keyboard navigation--for the making, breaking etc of nodes/connections-------Wow.

beast ready in overdrive =D

you should definitely run with this idea - I came here because i did a search for doing a mindmap in 3d which would be so much more useful than what we have available at the moment if it could be realised properly. I was looking at google earth recently and thinking what if we could have mindmapping software that you could somehow manipulate in such a way. Everyone would use mindmaps if this could be done right - although you seem to have done pretty Ok already

Love the 3D Mind Mapping. Tons of applications. I am an expert in accelerated learning and want to work with someone who can do this. Would love to speak if possible.

[Porkfista]

Brilliant!

I want this.

[mindvox626]

@lifeaddicted you better develop that before someone snags it from you.

Where can I download this?

ma sei italiano? Ma senti, ma per caso hai un blog, una newsletter, un canale di twitter, un sito, un qualsiasi cosa in cui posso ricevere aggiornamenti?
