3D Topicscape is a memory aid, thinking tool, and organization assistant that helps users map concepts by visualizing details about documents and their relationships using a 3D Mind Map. Users drag files and folders onto "topics" and connect them, so that they reflect their own way of thinking when they go back later to find them. This allows content to be searched not only by keywords, but by concept. Also, the same item (topic or information fragment) can appear in several places simultaneously without making copies, which overcomes one of the biggest limitations of organizing information with traditional file/folder methods. Users search for keywords, phrases, and intuitive concepts by by flying around the 3D landscape (see screenshot). A new release of the program has just gone into beta testing (apply here), with new features such as flagged topics; additional skins; extended import and export capabilities, including Outline Markup Language (OML) and Outline Processor Markup Language (OPML) support; zoom improvements; and forward flight to retrace steps that have been backspaced.
