abstract = {We introduce the Voice Interactive Virtual Reality Annotation (VIVRA), an application that employs Large Language Models to facilitate brainstorming and idea exploration in an immersive 3D environment. As users think aloud to brainstorm and ideate, the application automatically detects, summarizes, suggests, and connects their ideas in real time. The experience brings participants into a room where their ideas emerge as interactive objects that embody the topics detected from their ideas. We evaluated the effectiveness of VIVRA in an exploratory study with 29 participants, followed by a user study with 10 participants comparing the application with other visualizations. Our results show that VIVRA helped participants reflect and think more about their ideas, serving as a valuable tool for personal exploration. We discuss the potential benefits and applications, highlighting the benefits of combining immersive 3D spaces and LLMs to explore, learn, and reflect on ideas. © 2025 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).},
