Show is a productivity tool built around the science of spatial thinking! We envision what it would be like to take a thought out of your head and hold it in your hand. To Think in 3D.
Brainstorm more effectively by capturing the details of your ideas with our Spatial Thinking tools.
Organize your information and ideas with nestable worlds, called Bubbles.
Pitch your ideas by visualizing them in an interactive spatial format.
Remember more by forming spatial memories of your information.
Increase creativity by mapping and organizing ideas.
Draw in 3D space.
Screenshot all of your work in VR.
Save and Load your brainstorms, roadmaps, presentations, and more.
Import images, .PDFs, and .OBJ files.

Altar Show is great. It's easily accessible, lightweight, and FREE (for the time being at least). Show appears to be the genesis for a new and transformative way of processing information.

Altar Show is an Early Access VR productivity tool that lets you spatially brainstorm, design, roadmap, present, plan projects, build Memory Palaces, and more! It’s inspired by and based on the science of spatial thinking in order to improve your memory. It worked on my system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. Has good tutorials. Not sure if you can invite others to the instance or can you import or export your data.
Try it if you need a brainstorming program that works in VR.

Very cool! I typically end up using Tilt Brush for mindmapping, but this opens up some interesting possibilities. I really like the concept of the bubbles and being able to enter and leave them. I'm going to defintely use this for my next brainstorming session and try it out further but my initial impression is very positive.
Couple of things I think would make it more useful that are immediately apparent:
* moving 3d drawings like you can whiteboards and everything else
* changing the background
* loading/saving from within VR instead of having to look at your desktop
* more levels of bubbles (limit seems to be two right now)
* google poly integration for pulling in Blocks models
* maybe a web browser to be able to search and pull things like images right into the world
Great job on this! I look forward to seeing where this goes.

This is great. I have been looking for a tool like this for awhile. As a UX teacher and immersive designer I love the ability to visualize thought.
A few points of feedback.
What was the rationale behind the double menu selection it seems much slower to tap the menu 3 times to toggle versus - adding the actions on the vive controller dial, or as an attached menu on the second hand, near the wrist. I often found a lot of task switching happening and was focusing in on that instead of actually creating ideas
It would be great if no matter which state you are in if you hover over a bubble you can be presented a menu radial, or otherwise to be able to select linking functions. This also seemed to slow me down quite a bit.
The palette reach in feels a bit off. I could never quite grab or switch to the palette. I think its because the palette feels too large in relation to the postion of the hand.
I like how you mounted the keyboard on tagging to the tag position. Most apps extend the keyboard out too far and it forces you to fumble. By having your keyboard closer to your bent elbow it made it easier to quickly type, scan, and move to the next thing.
Jumping into the bubbles is just fun overal and really aligns with when I am working on spatial thinking problems.
Id love to provide more feedback.

You know that great feeling of stepping up to a blank whiteboard, with fresh markers, ready to realize your ambitions? Well Altar helps you take that to a whole new level.
I hope you'll excuse the hyperbole, but I really am excited by what this initial release of Altar's ideas have in store down the road. As we all become more adept at working and thinking in 3D as VR develops, Altar will be on the forefront of building tools that allow us to more fluidly explore and share our ideas with one another.
I think this is a promising start to a new frontier of computing and intelligence augmentation, akin to the birth of the GUI.
Exciting times!
