This live session is part of module 8 of the XR Design Fellowship Series.

Read more about the XR Design Fellowship here. By getting a ticket for this event, you will get access to all contents of modules 1 to 6 (prerequisites library, pre-lecture assignment, post-lecture assignment, live mentorship session).

We will look at how to systematically approach AI-based content generation for spatial apps and games and some practical tools and workflows to help you prototype and build your vision.

AI is revolutionizing the way we design and create. It started with text and images and can now support creators with 3D generation, motion, sound, and more, allowing creatives to build and populate entire worlds. This unlocks incredible opportunities for designers, creators, and developers of spatial apps and games that can now accelerate the early stage of the design process.

Lecture Overview:

This module of the XR Design Fellowship will examine how AI can improve the creative process by going beyond tools and workflows and making you faster and more efficient. This means setting the right mindset when creating with AI, picking a good scope for experimentation and exploration, and ensuring you reach your ultimate goal. We will then showcase the best AI generative tools to create characters, props, and environments, how to bring them to life, add sound, and ultimately combine them to prototype a multiplayer mixed reality experience using ShapesXR.

Session Takeaways

• How to start with AI without wasting time on comparing, researching, or installing tools
• Different ways AI can help you generate assets, characters, props, and environments
• How to bring AI-generated assets to life (again, with AI)
• How to put it all together and build an XR prototype - in a fast, efficient and high quality

Speakers

Gabriele Romagnoli: Shapes XR Gabriele Romagnoli is head of marketing and community at ShapesXR, an award-winning startup on a mission to bring the next-level tool for designing and prototyping spatial apps and games. Passionate about collaboration and creativity, Gabriele explores new workflows and tools daily that merge XR and AI in interesting ways to inspire and educate on how these technologies can complement each other.

Description of company

ShapesXR is an intuitive design and prototyping tool for spatial apps. It allows anybody to create in 3D and assemble scenes using the powerful creative toolset or imported assets such as Figma components, frames, or 3D models. Thanks to the storyboarding system, you can bring your design to life and “link” the frames with triggers and interactions to build genuinely interactive prototypes and test your design in motion. ShapesXR is the design tool of choice by XR teams across studios and enterprises such as TRIPP, Nanome, Meta, Bytedance, and many more.
