Use Cases

Media-scale navigation

Navigate massive libraries as a structured space of “capsules” instead of endless feeds. Polyopticon captures your exploration path as a timeprint, so discovery is repeatable and shareable—not lost to the scroll. Outcome: faster discovery, reusable curation trails, less choice thrash.

Mission / intelligence analysis

Stabilize multi-stream analysis by turning tools and feeds into a persistent spatial layout. Capture key analytic moves as timeprints so a teammate can replay the reasoning path, not just read the conclusion. Outcome: cleaner hand-offs, better reviewability, fewer lost threads.

High-throughput financial research

Keep correlation work continuous across charts, news, filings, and models by anchoring sources as stable capsules. Turn repeatable routines into agents that load, scan, and summarize the same way every time. Outcome: reduced context switching, repeatable workflows, clearer “why we acted.”

Research traceability

Make research legible by recording meaningful investigative steps as editable timeprints—what you compared, filtered, and decided. Share the path with collaborators and reviewers so work can be reproduced and audited without heavy narration. Outcome: stronger reproducibility, faster onboarding, higher-quality review.

Personal knowledge ops

Replace app-hopping with stable personal workspaces: planning, reading, writing, finances, and home ops as capsules you can return to instantly. Capture your best routines as timeprints and promote them to agents for repeatable execution. Outcome: less rework, better recall, smoother weekly flow.

Docked / ambient compute node

Extend the device with a docked/ambient node that stores capsule libraries, timeprints, and shared agents for a lab or team. This supports persistence and higher-capacity workflows while keeping the interaction model consistent. Outcome: durable workspaces, shareable technique, scalable collaboration
