We delineate the development of a mind-mapping system designed concurrently for both VR and desktop platforms. Employing an iterative methodology with groups of users, we systematically examined and improved various facets of our system, including interactions, communication mechanisms and gamification elements, to streamline the mind-mapping process while augmenting situational awareness and promoting active engagement among collaborators. We also report our observational findings on these facets from this iterative design process.
