Case Study: PianoVision streamlines MR UI design with ShapesXR

PianoVision speeds bi-weekly MR design iterations with ShapesXR

PianoVision, an innovative Mixed Reality music education platform, needed to design user interfaces that were spatialized around a physical object—the piano. Their challenge was to intuitively position UI elements in mixed reality to enhance the learning experience, a process that was difficult when relying solely on 2D design tools like Figma. They turned to the vendor ShapesXR to solve this problem.

Using ShapesXR, PianoVision seamlessly integrated its 2D designs from Figma into a mixed reality environment. This allowed designers to intuitively position UI around a digital mockup of a piano in physical space and use collaborative features like storyboards to map user flows. The solution significantly improved their design iteration process, which now occurs on a bi-weekly basis, and is considered a crucial tool for prototyping and reviewing new features. ShapesXR provided an invaluable solution that streamlined PianoVision's workflow.
