We're excited to introduce the long-awaited 'Attach to Body' feature, a streamlined interactive onboarding to help you master the basics of ShapesXR faster, a new case study, and an opportunity to connect and learn with fellow XR designers.

New Features & Updates

‍

Attach to Body

Attach to Body is one of our most highly requested features that allows you to create higher-fidelity prototypes of your XR apps by attaching interfaces, menus, and props to various parts of the user’s body. You can attach menus to hands, notification panels to follow the head, and props to stay on the body. 

Using this feature is easy! Attach objects by selecting them, assign a body part in the inspector, and then press play to experience your prototype.

Here’s what you can do with Attach to Body:

• Visualize UI Elements in Context: Seamlessly connect UI components to user’s body parts, like controllers, heads, or hands, to see how your designs perform.
• Design Hand Menus: Attach menus and props directly to the user, allowing you to fine-tune scale, placement, and ergonomics with precision.
• Interactive Prototyping: Bring your UI to life with interactive elements, eliminating the need for coding or waiting on developers to realize your design vision.

Watch the Attach to Body tutorial to learn everything you need to know, step by step.
