Think Space Reviews

I wanted to love this app, because I love the concept. There are some things that make it unuseable for me, and I hope that it will improve or that someone else will do a better app. First: The soothing background sounds of waves crashing is cheesy at first, but you go with and it feel immersed in this place right up until it abruptly chops off at an ending upon looping itself. It's not only jarring, but it smacks of laziness in production quality. Secondly: The core feature I want, drawing on a whiteboard, is not so great. The whiteboards can only be perpendicular to the ground, the colors are crappy and limited, and the eraser is unwieldy. Thirdly: An annoyance that can be avoided, but just emits "poor production quality", switching between desert and island mode maintains your position during the swap, so it's easy to get stuck in a vertical mismatch between the maps and not be able to move around. This is a great concept and it's a good start on whatever this app ends up being, but I don't feel good having paid even a nominal modest charge for this software. I simply don't see myself using it in favor of better non-vr tools.

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/

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!

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!

* Good idea, but still a little bit inmature. * Painting/drawing is quite good, but I would need more structure on the board for better depth-awareness (e.g. a little bit of dirt like in The Lab's whiteboard - this whiteboard is too clean); * During team session all the boards in use disappeared for me (boards were still usable by the other person; I could still generate a new board which was also usable by the other person) * Switching between desert and beach creates some problems because of different elevations (when returning from desert to beach I was hanging in the air and couldn't teleport to the beach)

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 half life level classroom with a big whiteboard. :)

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.

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.

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, but there are a lot of ways one might hold the control in order to find the most natural writing position. I find that holding the conroller backwards as if there is a FAT marker in my hand, is the most comfortable way for me to get a better motion of my wrist while writing. It would be nice if there were some way to reposition the pen for different ways of holding the controller. Thanks for the cool software!
