Case Study: Pencil! creates an intuitive mixed reality drawing app with ShapesXR

Pencil! slashes MR prototyping time with ShapesXR, enabling rapid design iteration and UX breakthroughs

Pencil!, a mixed reality app designed to teach users how to draw, faced the challenge of prototyping and validating its core concept. The team was concerned about hardware limitations and needed a highly accessible user experience. They turned to ShapesXR to prototype their idea and design the UX before any coding began.

Using ShapesXR, the team was able to quickly iterate on designs, test anchoring mechanics, and refine the user experience. This process led to a breakthrough in tracking the drawing area, which was then implemented in the final app. The solution from ShapesXR provided a solid foundation for development, resulting in a highly praised app with a fun and intuitive design that was celebrated by its community.
