We are super excited to announce this EPIC update comes with 2 of the most requested features from our users: Interactivity and Figma integration. Without further ado, let’s dive in! 

Unrestricted access to features in beta will expire on June 03, 2023.

Interactivity (Beta)

ShapesXR’s stage system allowed so far to mockup simple interactions and prototype linear storylines. We are glad to announce that you can finally create truly interactive branching prototypes by adding triggers to objects in your scene. You will have 4 triggers to choose from:

-👆Hoover (in and out)

-Click

-Time trigger (to make simple animations and transitions)

The creative possibilities are really endless and we look forward to seeing (and experiencing) your interactive prototypes!

Figma Integration (Beta)

The new Figma integration allows you to import your components and frames into ShapesXR. What is even cooler is that any change made in Figma will be synched in ShapesXR with the click of a button… like magic. We have also added a toggle to enhance the visual quality (at the cost of some performance 😁) so that you can evaluate text readability as well as the size, position, and motion of your UI directly in VR and MR without any coding.

Holonotes (Beta)

Holonotes are the new way to communicate with your teammates or anybody visiting your space asynchronously. We went far beyond the old-fashioned post-it, voice or video notes and you will be able to record your full avatar movements to guide the attention of the viewer to what really matters spatially. We are a fully distributed team and have been using holonotes regularly with great results and managed to accelerate our design cycles dramatically. 

ShapesXR gallery

The Gallery is a public space we created to celebrate the launch of the latest update. There you will find portals that lead you directly to various designs made specifically to teach important principles about XR design and showcase some examples of what YOU can build in ShapesXR with just a little practice.

Dashboard update

The web dashboard to manage assets, spaces (and projects for business customers) got several improvements. We have added a “recent” tab for spaces and they can also be searched and sorted. You can also sort your imported and exported assets. Last but not least Studio and Enterprise customers can also search and sort within the dedicated page for Projects.

Other improvements and fixes:

-Fixes for Text Tool

-Text in Spaces rendering improvements

-Fixes for Gizmo

-Comfort mode is off by default

-Fixed exceptions here and there
