Think Space

I'm a big fan of these kinds of apps and want to see more VR tools like this. I love how I can go anywhere on the island and use that as a space to create my Whiteboards.. Very cool. The tool set and menu systems are simple, a great size and they work every time. Here are some of my thoughts on further development. The articulation of the pen is pointed at the whiteboard like North on a compas needle. I feel that a more natural articulation for the pen, relative to the actual position and rotation of the control, is crucial for a writing experience. I would love to enable haptic buzzes when in contact with the board and while making strokes. Holding the controller and writing by pulling the trigger is not working for me, and I doubt it will work well for many. My arm becomes tired after writing only a few sentences, and makes me realize how important it is to have full articulation of my wrist while I'm writing. The Pen maintains a orientation relative to the control...

At first I thought - OK, this is a different take on Tilt Brush. After using it for a couple of hours, I've changed my mind. It really helps me focus on what I'm whiteboarding, and exporting to a vector image is helpful for sending ideas to others. I think this could be even better if multi-person whiteboarding is included. Could really turn this into a virtual conference room.

This is a really great app! What an awesome idea! It works really well, though I do wish we had a lighthouse-tracked pen accessory for things like this and Tilt Brush. Once they add multi-user support, this will change the way people collaborate remotely on things like software projects. I'm going to try to argue for my office to get a few Vives now, with this app as a big part of the justification. Great job, devs!

I like this. The concept holds up, despite drawing freehand with a 3d controller onto a virtual 2d whiteboard it feels pretty natural with good results. Nice that the trigger can be used to stop and start drawing instead of picking up the marker from the board. The environment is pleasant, was happy to look up and see the seagulls. I'm on Oculus Rift & Touch everything seems to work as expected. Files saved as .svg is awesome as those can be shipped around and used in other programs. I could see using this for wireframing. Didn't get to try multiplayer but that seems like a winning feature.

I've been holding out for multiuser.... it works great! Nice job developers! The app works a lot like Webex if your familar with that. You start a meeting which generates a code, then you tell that code to other people to join the meeting. I just whiteboarded with some friends online and the movements of the other users while whiteboarding is super smooth and everything just works as you'd expect. You can even tell where on the board the other person is looking at due to the smooth head roation and pitch. Some features I'd love to see in future updates: - Name tags on the avatars - Ability to customize the avatar - Way to save the meeting document from the desktop menu (currently save is only in VR) - Dedicated meeting room number / password for frequent meetings with co-workers Keep up the great work devs!

This is an excellent collaboration application. I'm working with my son who is in New Zealand and I'm in Colorado but here get to hang out on a beach and do all of our white boarding and planning. Outstanding. We get to save the white board session for use and reference either in Think Space or outside of it. Excellent utility. Highly recommend it. Would like to see the Start Meeting and Join Meeting integrated in VR app but easy enough to use for now. Keep up the good work!

Needs more work to justify the price. But the devs have promised to at least bring in some multiplayer so I will give it a thumbs up for now.

I love it. The price IS high for what you get but only if the developer stops here. If they keep updating this, it's a steal at this price. I am willing to make the small investment. I made some recommendations here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/4vd32i/productivity_app_think_space_suggestions/

Can't recommend this unfortunately. It's got a bit too many shortcomings for my taste. My main three issues are: 1) the wiper removes full marker strokes. 2) It also sticks to the whiteboard like a magnet so it always wipes the full area. There's no angle you can use. This makes it impossible to wipe smaller areas in between drawings. 3) You need to hold a button in order for the marker to draw. This feels very counter intuitive. Like other said, some added tools would be very useful. Like a calculator or some sort of drawing assistant for straight lines. I did like how no-nonsense the app is and that you can add more whiteboards and re-position them. The basics are there, but its just a bit too... basic. Try anything that requires a bit more finesse or precision and you'll notice the shortcomings. I did want to like this app because there's not much nothing else around. Half Life Alyx has some pretty good drawing tech, but that comes with a whole game. Only if someone would make a ...

Nice work. This is almost exactly what I'm looking for. Two things would help: 1: The option to write whenever the pen is touching the board, without needing to hold down the trigger. 2: The ability to hold the pen at arbitrary angles and/or to change the position/orientation of the pen relative to the controller. Needing to hold down the trigger to write forces what ends up being an awkward grip given the pen angle, which doesn't work well for me for precise writing. I'm using Vive controllers.
