Abstract: We study the metric and topological properties of the space $mathscrD(G)$ of left-invariant hyperbolic pseudometrics on the non-elementary hyperbolic group $G$ that are quasi-isometric to a word metric, up to rough similarity. This space naturally contains the Teichm"uller space in case $G$ is a surface group and the Culler-Vogtmann outer space when $G$ is a free group. Endowed with a natural metric reminiscent of the (symmetrized) Thurston's metric on Teichm"uller space, we prove that $mathscrD(G)$ is an unbounded contractible metric space and that $mathrmOut(G)$ acts metrically properly by isometries on it. If we restrict ourselves to the subspace $mathscr{D}_{delta}(G)$ of the points represented by $delta$-hyperbolic metrics with critical exponent 1, we prove that it is either empty or proper. We also prove continuity of the Bowen-Margulis map from $mathscr{D}_{delta}(G)$ into the space $mathbbPmathcalCurr(G)$ of projective geodesic currents on $G$, extending similar results for surface and free groups, and the continuity of the (normalized) mean distortion as a function on $mathscrD(G)imesmathscrD(G)$.
