What does the 3D View feature in iMindMap Ultimate do?

3D View takes your Mind Map and turns it into a 3 dimensional object, allowing you to glide around it from different angles, zoom in on different areas and turn Mind Mapping into a whole new experience. 3D View offers a completely new way to present and is a great way to find a fresh perspective and stimulate new ideas.

3D View also has drawing functionality, so you can add branches and text to your map whilst it is in 3D – an interactive journey.

iMindMap Ultimate will let you Present in 3D as well. So you can fly your audience through your ideas on a multidimensional tour, capturing their attention and ensuring they remember your message.

You can try 3D View with MultiMaps, using the Relationships as fly-overs between each separate map. Clearly visualise relationships between different ideas and concepts.

For iMindMap 5's 3D View to work fully, your computer must have a graphics card which supports OpenGL 1.5 or above. If this is not on your machine you may have problems running 3D View as unstable graphics drivers occasionally cause iMindMap 5 to crash. Why not download the free 7 day trial of iMindMap Ultimate and try before you buy?

Can I present using iMindMap Ultimate?

iMindMap Ultimate provides its very own Presentation View, allowing you to create and deliver unique presentations straight from iMindMap. A refreshing change from the traditional slideshow approach, iMindMap will animate your maps branch by branch, building your argument and keeping your audience focused and interested.

Incorporate images, videos, websites, other Mind Maps, or even slides, to create a dynamic and memorable presentation.

You can go from brainstorming ideas in a Mind Map all the way to presenting it to your audience, all from within iMindMap, quickly and easily.

Plus, don’t forget to try using the 3D option for an unforgettable presentation.
