ShapesXR offers a toolset to create and collaborate on 3D projects in XR. With the controllers, you can progressively assemble designs, change colors and materials and create a scene in 3D. Teammates can be invited to ideate and co-create in real time. You can create in dollhouse mode, add passthrough material etc. ShapeXR aims to be beginner-friendly and intuitive so the barrier of entry to start designing in XR is quite low.

| collaboration | passthrough mode has some issues (according to comments) |
| good for quick prototyping and mockups, creating user flows, simulating interactions | less suitable for detailed 3D modelling (e.g. limited colors) |
| free onboarding sessions right in VR and tutorials available on website | internet connection necessary |
| support for Quest, Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, eye-tracking, facial expressions | no support for other goggles |
| import: supports JPG, PNG, OBJ, GLB, glTF, as well as Figma frames | Meta account necessary |
