Hi everyone,
It's been a while since we released a build and I feel like you need an update. Since April development has been erratic due to a few distractions:
- In April we exhibited at VRLA and it was fantastic. We received tons of in-person usability feedback and spoke to 100s of people about how they're using/building/designing VR, all of which is helping us decide where to go with the product.
- We've been investigating ways to make 3D drawing easier. As great as 3D drawing is today, it feels like the true potential hasn't been reached. Our eyes aren't very good depth sensors, and our arms are only good at drawing some curves smoothly. In VR we can bend space and control the entire visual feed - there must be a better way to match the drawing experience to our bodies. This could easily take up _all_ our time, but frankly your feedback from the real product is even more valuable, so we're prioritizing the most promising ideas and trying to get the good ones into the product ASAP.
That said, we have built some new stuff, which will be released in the next few weeks:
- dark/light mode
- increased contrast in lots of places and generally tweaked colors to make things more visible
- lots of changes to the selection/erase UI
- when you draw on a plane you should be able to revisit it, perhaps move the plane around, like you would a piece of paper. Haven't settled on a UI yet but we're getting there!
Thanks to everyone who's using the tool, and please if you have any feedback jump on the forum or get us on [email protected] - we love it.
Cheers
