I was asked this question by Chuck Frey in his interview at http://mindmappingsoftwareblog.com/mind-map-ar-augmented-reality/
I'll provide the answer here to seed the forum since there are no forum users yet.

I agree. After using the application myself for a few days, I found it a much better outlet since I could just place my ideas in space. Are there plans to develop a a headset with the idea of incorporating hands free control instead of using the joystick and menus on the phone?

Mind Mapping in 3D feels natural and intuitive. 3D lends itself well to the branched structure of mind maps. But 3D mind maps get even better when you can actively experience them in augmented reality. Mind mapping in AR is more mentally engaging which amplifies the core value of what makes mind mapping great.
Our brains have evolved to excel in a 3D world. We have a knack for orientation and relative positioning. This inherent ability is both powerful and effortless. For example, once you’ve seen where the bathroom is in an unfamiliar building you don’t need help getting there again. You effortlessly capture the information. This natural aptitude is what you harness with Mind Map AR. You develop a relative sense of where information is and capture it in the process.
