Using 3D Topicscape - Users' Stories

  

Choose between:

The low-cost, easy to use 3D Topicscape Lite to manage your To Do Lists and information using the most graphical approach you can find. If you think, learn and plan visually, you should look at this;
    and
3D Topicscape Pro that has all the benefits demanded by our power users who turn tons of data into usable, accessible information.

Both versions can build clearly laid out 3D landscapes from folders and files; Pro can also import from MindManager, FreeMind, PersonalBrain and even outline-format text. But when you have a Topicscape set up, then the magic begins:

Any topic can have any number of parents. This means an item can appear in several places without making copies--a major plus when organizing information. And unlike in 2D mind mapping software, anything can be linked to anything. The equivalent in 2D can quickly become an incomprehensible spider's web of lines and boxes. That's where 3D scores big.

The 3D interface allows instant zooming, so that a lot can be taken in at a glance and the user can zoom to an area to check the details and instantly zoom back to look elsewhere. And any topic can be made into the central topic for further exploration. This means that very large collections of information are possible. We have Topicscapes with thousands of nodes and attached files which could not be handled in a 2D mind mapper.

Topicscape allows a single topic to have many files attached (hundreds if you wish) and still be handled easily. A Topicscape can have tens of thousands of files. It has greatly superior searching, compared with other mind mapping software. Files when attached to Topicscape topics can, at the user's choice, be left in their original location, moved into Topicscape, or copied into it. If you choose to move or copy, the Topicscape to be moved from PC to PC without breaking links.

  • Scan To Do lists with just a glance at a 3D landscape; zoom in and go back instantly; make live links to MS Outlook® tasks, contacts, emails, notes (in Pro).
     
  • Use the unique information organizer for project managers and mindmappers, and save money as you bask in the comfort of having full control of your information.
     
  • Do your research on the web while saving web pages in a queue. Just drop a page into the 3D landscape and carry on surfing: It's a real time saver.
     
  • If you mind map already, greatly expand your mindmapping with unlimited 3D worlds round which you can fly and zoom. Make your information even more visible . . . almost touchable.
     
    There are many 2D mind mapping packages out there, but for the heavy lifting you need 3D Topicscape. 3D Topicscape is different. 3D Topicscape is better.

These are some examples of 3D Topicscape in action - the names have been changed, the Topicscapes have been simplified, and personal or sensitive material has been removed.
