We are thrilled to announce ShapesXR 2.0.

This update represents a stepping stone for a brand new way for XR teams to design immersive apps and games together in real-time across XR devices AND…… the web 🤯 Yes, you read that right!

‍Watch our product video to see what's new in Shapes 2.0, and check out this summary for detailed insights on every new feature.

Cross-platform Unlocked

With the addition of the web editor Shapes 2.0 becomes fully cross-platform. This means team members can now design, prototype, and collaborate from any platform with a consistent UI and UX. You can start in your VR headset, and pick up where you left off on the web seamlessly. Invite teammates or clients without a headset to live design reviews on the web and experience the full power of spatial presentations and real-time feedback across any device.

Next-level prototyping

We have added new triggers to help you design higher-fidelity prototypes that will impress your team AND make you more independent from those busy developers 😉. Some of them include object-related triggers like touch, look or hide/show, haptics and change state. On top of that Shapes 2.0 now also supports mp3 and WAV, because “ What is a prototype without sounds?🎶. Sound effects can in fact be linked to triggers to elevate your design to the next level.

Procedural primitives & New asset library

We have added a new library of fully procedural primitives to make the creation of complex spaces and UIs easier and more accurate. On top of that, you can now count on several asset packs with baked ambient occlusion that look gorgeous ✨. Some of the packs include UI (with hundreds of icons and elements), industrial and medical assets and more!

New creative foundation 

We have reimagined the entire UI architecture of Shapes 2.0 to make it easier to learn and more scalable as we add new exciting features. This comes with highly awaited features like the custom inspector, to give designers more control over the creative process and a more reliable and powerful object selection and manipulation system that we have been testing closely with many of you over the last weeks.

Switch back to ShapesXR 1.0

We know this might be a big step for many and in case you have an important meeting ahead remember that you can switch back to ShapesXR 1.0 directly in the store. Just scroll down to the "Version" section and select Shapes 1.0 from the drop-down menu.

We have been working hard to make ShapesXR 2.0 the best tool for designing spatial apps and games and we are excited to make it available to a broader design community, regardless of the access to hardware and for the first time unlocking real-time co-design and co-editing across XR and web.
