From raw text to navigable space in 90 seconds.
Here's what happens between pasting your notes and walking through your palace.
Paste anything structured.
Upload a textbook chapter, lecture transcript, study guide, or your own notes. NowArchive handles dense, technical material — the kind with hierarchical relationships, classification systems, and interconnected concepts.
Supported inputs: plain text, PDF, markdown, common document formats. Paste or upload. No formatting required.
The system performs best with natural hierarchy — topics containing subtopics, categories with members. Think: pharmacology (drug classes → drugs → mechanisms → interactions), law (doctrines → elements → exceptions).
Your text becomes a knowledge graph.
The NLP engine identifies concepts, their hierarchical relationships, dependencies, and semantic weight. A textbook chapter on geotechnical soil classification becomes: soil types → grain size distributions → Atterberg limits → plasticity indices → field identification methods.
Each node carries metadata: importance weight, abstraction level, and relationship type to adjacent nodes.
Every concept becomes a physical artifact.
The generation pipeline translates each node into a meaningful 3D metaphor. A soil profile becomes a layered core sample. A legal precedent becomes a stone tablet. A drug interaction becomes two objects with visible connection lines.
Artifacts are anchored to a deterministic spatial grid — position calculated from the knowledge graph's topology. Parent concepts occupy central positions. Related concepts cluster.
Grid anchoring uses a force-directed layout algorithm constrained to a fixed architectural template. Once placed, coordinates lock permanently. New concepts find open positions without displacing existing anchors.
Architecture that serves your cognition.
The environment is themed for cognitive distinctiveness. The Conservatory: light-filled oak and sandstone architecture with brass instrumentation. Your data artifacts appear in Patina Blue, immediately distinguishable from the warm surroundings.
Future themes allow full customization of architectural style — each palace as unique as its owner's cognition.
Walk through it. Remember it.
Open in your browser — full 3D navigation with mouse and keyboard. Or put on a VR headset — room-scale walking, physical interaction with artifacts, natural head movement.
Your spatial memory encodes locations naturally — the same way you remember where your keys are. Except your keys are pharmacological mechanisms and constitutional doctrines.
Browser
Chrome, Firefox, Edge. No download. WebGL rendering. Mouse + keyboard navigation.
VR Headset
Meta Quest 2/3/Pro, Valve Index, HTC Vive. Native WebXR — no app install.
Mobile ARComing
Coming soon. Point your phone — see artifacts in physical space.
Deterministic spatial anchoring. Your coordinates are permanent.
Other VR learning environments rearrange content — "adaptive" repositioning that destroys spatial memory. If your brain expects a concept at grid position [3, 7, 2] and it's moved to [5, 2, 1], place cells fire incorrectly. The spatial memory trace corrupts.
NowArchive's grid is deterministic and permanent. Coordinates locked at the database level. No algorithm will ever move your artifacts. Your mental map is sacred.
See for yourself.
