Thortspace is the world's first 3D collaborative mind mapping software. Thortspace enables breakthrough collaborative thinking, whenever and wherever you need it most.

Initially the Mobile versions of the Thortspace App were thought to be a supporting addition to the Desktop versions. 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.

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.

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. Thortspace goes beyond 3D mind mapping to reflect how minds work.

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.
* 3D associative and linking structures based on spheres
* Linking and association at multiple different levels of structure
* Real-time collaboration
* Sharing by email, social networking account, or by private link
* 1-click publishing to the web
* Thorts can contain images, URL links, and be colour coded in multiple alternative categorizations
* Thortspace is designed to support:
(1) experimental multi-perspectival reflection and play,
(2) the creation of chunks of thinking as building blocks that can be used to build thinking structures,
(3) process-orientation - thortspace empowers the journey, not just the destination,
(4) synthesis as well as analysis
