Visualize your professional network in 3D
A contact list tells you who you know. A network graph shows how you are connected — and in three dimensions, connection distance becomes something you can actually see and fly through.
Why a graph beats a list
A professional network is not really a list — it is a web. You are connected to people, who connect to companies and schools, who connect to other people. A flat list flattens all of that into names in a column. A graph keeps the structure: it draws the connections as edges, so clusters, bridges and distant contacts become visible at a glance.
What "3D" adds
In two dimensions, a busy network turns into a hairball — too many crossing lines to read. Three dimensions give the layout room to breathe. Nodes spread through space by how closely they relate to you, so:
- Close connections sit near you; distant ones sit far away — connection degree becomes literal distance.
- Dense clusters (a company, a university cohort) form recognizable constellations.
- You can rotate, zoom and fly through the graph instead of squinting at a flat diagram.
How Gravity maps your network
Gravity renders your network as an interactive 3D graph where people, companies and universities are all nodes, laid out by connection degree. The layout is computed on the server so it stays fast even as the graph grows, and it updates as your connections change. You can click any node to see who it is, and the same account gives you realtime chat and live location sharing to actually meet the people you find.
Who it is for
Anyone who wants to understand and navigate their professional world spatially — to spot the shortest path to someone, see which companies and schools tie your network together, or just explore who is one connection away. It is free, with one-click Google sign-in.
Frequently asked questions
What is a 3D professional network graph?
A visualization that places your connections — people, companies, universities — as nodes in three-dimensional space and draws the relationships between them as edges, arranged so that connection distance corresponds to spatial distance. You can rotate and fly through it.
How is it different from a normal contacts list?
A list shows names; a graph shows structure. You can see clusters, bridges between groups, and how close or far each contact is, which a flat list cannot convey.
Does the layout slow down on large networks?
Gravity computes the graph layout on the server, so rendering stays smooth as your network grows rather than doing all the work in your browser.
Can I contact people I find in the graph?
Yes. The same hplab account includes realtime chat and optional live location sharing, so discovering a connection and reaching out happen in one place.
Is Gravity free?
Yes. Gravity is free, with one-click Google sign-in, and one hplab account works across every hplab app.
