ShapesXR Enhances Spatial Design Prototyping Tool with Advanced Animation Features

ShapesXR, huh? So, picture this: you’re knee-deep in the virtual world, and bam! A whole new animation feature pops up. No joke. It’s like seeing old movies come to life—kind of magical, really. I mean, you can literally make your XR prototypes all lively and stuff.

But here’s the kicker—no coding! Like nada, zero. You got this frame-based animation thingy now, and you just toggle transitions and dynamic bits without even breaking a sweat. Almost sounds too good to be true, right? But it’s legit. UI motions, storytelling grooves, those little gestures that make things pop—it’s all in the mix now. Total game changer, honestly.

Speaking of games, ever notice how the tires sound on wet cardboard? Weird thought, I know. But back to the point—ShapesXR just made prototyping feel like a breeze. It’s kind of like when you finally get the hang of parallel parking—aha moment kind of thing.

And the big cheese, Inga Petryaevskaya, says animation’s their jam. Like, they’ve been riding this wave for ages, dreaming to toss it into ShapesXR. And now, voila! It’s fast, intuitive, and like, super accessible. Almost like dreaming about ice cream and then finding a stash in your freezer.

Teams can scribble away in real-time too. Sounds fancy, right? On any device, mind you. You could be using a clunky old monitor or those fancy XR headsets—doesn’t matter. Quest or Pico? Go wild. You have the run of the place.

Oh, and dig this: they’re rolling out with sample spaces (like tiny playgrounds) and a virtual instructor to help you navigate all that. Imagine having a guide in a world where things float around, but it makes total sense. Sort of like a mentor popping out of nowhere in a dream, guiding you through the maze.

Anyway, ShapesXR hit the scene in 2021 and was aimed at creative souls and companies. Believe it or not, it’s free on the Horizon Store for Quest 2 and up, and Pico Store too. But, there’s always a but, right? The freebie version has its fine print—limits on editable spaces and asset size. If you want to go big or go home, you’re looking at a Business or Enterprise license.

Imagine all this in a chaotic, magical dance of high-tech prototyping. Honestly, maybe I’m just easily impressed, but it’s kind of wild to think about. Alright, brain dump over.
