Case Study: Conestoga College empowers XR students with ShapesXR

Conestoga College streamlines XR prototyping and cross-team collaboration with ShapesXR

Conestoga College, a research-driven institution, sought a tool to help students in its Virtual Reality Production Program quickly gain fluency in VR and master industry-ready prototyping workflows. The challenge was to find an intuitive solution that was easy for students from diverse backgrounds to pick up, build confidence, and foster creativity while working directly within a headset. They implemented ShapesXR to address this need.

Using ShapesXR, students could intuitively prototype a wide variety of experiences, from immersive storytelling to industrial simulations, directly in VR. The solution streamlined onboarding, enabled real-time collaboration between peers and faculty, and allowed for easy export to Unity. The results were transformative, significantly boosting student confidence, spatial understanding, and engagement. ShapesXR is now considered a core tool in the program, praised for making learning more tangible and professionally relevant.
