Scientific reasoning and communication widely employ spatial representations of concepts having an underlying graph structure. A multimodal interactive system to create, edit and explore graph structures through direct manipulation operations is introduced. The system being designed is based on audio-haptic interaction, supported by visual feedback. The main design choices and early implementation and evaluation results are illustrated.
