Gravity Sketch VR software now lets designers switch between 2D and 3D

▤ Summary

"To add some finer details, we found some designers were exporting to other software where they could work with their Wacom tablets, which is what is most familiar to them currently," said Sosanya. Automotive design is a key field for Gravity Sketch, which has been adopted by creative teams at Ford, among other major companies. "With our 2D input mode using a Wacom tablet, each stroke is technically a piece of 3D geometry that can be manipulated and edited in 3D space," he said. Sosanya told Dezeen that accessibility was a key issue, because the potential of VR in the design process wouldnt be fully realised until people had headsets at their desks. "In many of the design studios we visited, VR was sort of an IT or innovation team initiative and as such was trapped in some strange location," said Sosanya, adding that it was usually "an empty dark room with a single computer, no atmosphere, and too much AC".
