doUmind: An elegant way to digitize your hand-drawn mind maps

This magic is performed using powerful AI software that has only recently become powerful enough to master this formidable challenge. But two French engineering students, Virgile Garnier and Juliette Breurec, decided to take it on and have created an simple, elegant approach to transforming hand-drawn visual diagrams into computer-based maps that can be modified and improved – and save their creators the hours that would be required to do this task manually. I recently interviewed them to learn more about doUmind – how they envisioned this remarkable tool, how it accomplishes this remarkable task and what's next for it. Chuck Frey: Where did you and Juliette come up with the idea for doUmind? Garnier and Breurec: We were both engineering students specializing in mechatronics at the end of our studies at our university, IMT Mines Alès.
