ShapesXR

Description

In ShapesXR you start creating in 3D within minutes without prior experience. You can create immersive 3D storyboards to show your ideas in function and easily invite team members to iterate and design together in real-time. ShapesXR was born with the mission to democratize 3D content creation allowing product owners, business leaders, and designers to finally start thinking and creating spatially together. In ShapesXR you can pick a premade scene as a canvas for your creation or start from scratch. Designers can manipulate simple shapes at scale, change materials, research user flows, and pitch scenes in motion with a simple to use staging system. You can share and export in various forms—from VR, via Web, through the Unity plugin, and to 3D models.

What Works Well

This app makes designing in 3D, collaboration and sharing content all extremely easy, even for those who are not versed in any aspect of the 3D workflow.

Level of Interactivity

Guidance Level 4
What does this mean?
The Level of Interactivity indicates how many interactive features an experience has.

For instance, a Level 1 would be a more passive experience where you will be able to look around freely, but you will not be triggering or interacting with things in the environment.  A Level 2 will provide some level of interactivity but only very basically, such as being able to move between different scenes in the experience. A Level 3 will start to incorporate some more complex interactions using a remote or controller to trigger things within the scenes. A Level 4 would be a fully interactive experience but something you are still guided through. Finally, a Level 5 would be a fully interactive experience that gives you complete control of how to use it.
