Web Editor
The Web Editor lets you create and edit spaces directly in your browser — no VR headset required. It’s a fast and convenient way to iterate on your ideas, make quick adjustments, or collaborate without using a headset.
Designed to feel familiar, the Web Editor closely matches the ShapesXR VR app interface, so you can jump in immediately with no learning curve. While some VR-specific tools and settings are exclusive to the headset experience, the Web Editor gives you everything you need for efficient editing, content updates, and rapid prototyping.
How to Start the Web Editor
Go to the Dashboard.
Create a new space by clicking the +New space blue button available on any tab in the Spaces section. The new space will open in a new tab.
Click on an existing space so the space page is open, and then click the blue Open editor button. The space will open in a new tab.
Basic Actions and Controls
You can find a list of available controls and hotkeys for moving and performing basic actions in the Web Editor on this page.
Also, you can teleport by selecting a viewpoint from the Viewpoints tab.
How to Spawn Objects
Imported Files
Open the Assets tab in the left-side menu, click on My Files, select the required asset from imported files, and click it to spawn the asset at the center of the screen.
Built-in Assets
Use the panel at the top of the screen to add a primitive to your scene.
Alternatively, open the Assets tab in the left-side menu, select the required asset from the built-in Library, and click it to spawn the asset at the center of the screen.
Text
Use the panel at the top of the screen to add text to your scene.
How to Edit Objects
When you select an object, the Object Inspector opens in the right-side menu. It provides quick access to the object’s settings, allowing you to edit properties after creation and manage the object’s state in the space with greater precision.
When an object is selected, Gizmo handles also appear on it. You can move and scale the object using the Gizmo or by adjusting values in the Transform section of the Object Inspector.
Manipulations with Frames
Go to the Frames tab in the left-side menu to manage frames in your space.
From the action panel at the bottom of the menu, you can duplicate frames, add empty frames, switch to the Background scene, and perform other actions.
Right-click a frame to rename, duplicate, or delete it.
Collaboration
Collaboration is supported in the web version of ShapesXR, making teamwork seamless across devices. You can collaborate in real time with other users working in VR or directly in the Web Editor — no headset required.
Web users can also take advantage of powerful features such as Presentation and Scene Sync, available based on their subscription plan.
Learn more on this page about Follow mode, which lets Web Editor users follow a VR user’s viewpoint for better alignment and shared context.
Please note that voice chat is currently not available in the Web Editor.
