Startup Noda and mind mapping in VR with AI
Mind mapping is a tool for generating ideas, taking notes, thinking and solving problems. It improves memory, understanding and cognitive skills. In a world where AI is increasingly augmenting human thinking, mapping combined with the right technology and VR becomes something more.
Startup Noda dealing with 3D mental models, allows building mind maps
strategic processes and storyboards. The founder of Noda calls it a "treasure trove of ideas to share", where you can enter the perspective of a teammate and understand ideas from their point of view.
Noda brings ideas to life in space. You can start a brainstorming session by presenting the main point of discussion. When a dot appears, simply connect the next dots with hand movements and Noda's AI fills the map with ideas.
Users without VR headsets can also join the work. Two-way synchronization allows content to be transferred from 2D to 3D space and vice versa. Place the sticky notes on the window and people who have the sets will be able to connect them to virtual connections on mixed reality boards.
Noda offers many functions, such as thinking aloud - i.e. speech recognition. Speech exchange occurs in real time. Bidirectional synchronization with Miro, an online collaboration platform, allows you to work simultaneously with people with and without VR. Miro transfers 3D elements that you can view in 2D reflection. Several subgroups can work on one mind map without drowning out each other. Only the one closest to ours will listen.
