Welcome to another ShapesXR update with brand-new features to increase your creative powers and the collaborative experience with others.

‍

Color tool

We have added a new yet familiar color wheel so that you can pick ANY color you want! You can even add your hex code and pick colors and materials from another object.

‍

GLB and glTF import UNLOCKED!

It is now super easy to get your 3D models in ShapesXR or download them from databases like Sketchfab or poly.pizza. From now on you will be able to import GLB and glTF up to 20 Mb directly from the shapes.app web panel.

Gaze and Pinch interactions

We have made our first step in supporting multimodal interactions and added the ability to trigger hover effects and transitions using gaze and pinch. Just select the “gaze and pinch” option from the interactions menu and set aside your controllers. Looking at the object will now trigger the hover-in and out effect. Pinching with your hand will instead act like a “click” interaction. Use a QuestPro with eye tracking for the best experience or a Quest 2 by turning your head.

‍

Streamline Image and Figma import

We have simplified the settings for image import and now you can easily set the transparency mode and opacity of all PNGs and components imported from Figma.

Improved access to snapping settings

Toggling snapping on or off and cycling through the various modes (world, object, all) is now possible through a handy UI located on your dominant hand.

‍

Same Page mode

Collaboration and communication is about being on the “Same page”. So there you have it! Everyone who toggles this mode will be syncornized on the same stage/slide of your scene. Anybody can change the stage and the rest of the participants will magically follow. This feature is available to Studio and Enterprise clients only.

Editable spaces conditions

We have made a slight change to the limit of editable spaces. From now on you can still edit up to 3 spaces BUT either owned or shared with you. If right now you are above that limit (e.g. you can edit 3 of your own and 2 that have been shared with you) nothing will change, but going forward when you hit the limit you can delete one of YOUR old spaces, leave one that was shared with you or reach out to us for a studio plan. Rest assured that if someone invites you to collaborate on their space and you have exceeded the limit, you will still be able to view and comment on that space.
