Axis

Axis is a simple design tool for head-mounted displays, developed at the XR Collaboratory. Axis provides a sandbox environment for 3D interaction designers and developers, enabling deployment of interaction technique prototypes to a functioning virtual and augmented reality application.

The basic functionality and features of Axis are inspired by existing XR design tools such as Gravity Sketch. Axis is developed by extending Unity’s XR Interaction Toolkit and runs on multiple platforms, including Meta Horizon OS and Android XR.

Features

Axis is built using XR Collaboratory’s XRC Toolkit, deploying selected packages containing tools and features such as interaction techniques for selection and manipulation, system control, and viewpoint maneuvering. Axis integrates these standalone packages into a single application.
