HxAR 2.0 preview · Create

Make more than an object.Make a reason to stop.

This development preview shows how HxAR 2.0 turns models, media, behaviour and place into interactive stories and virtual environments. These 2.0 tools are not the current App Store release.

Available in HxAR 1.2

Connect AR and USDZ scenes

The current release supports global USDZ placement, scene download progress, colour-coded size guidance and duplicate-name protection. Interactive stories, virtual buildings, Wired AR and QR sharing below are part of the 2.0 preview.

A spatial toolkit

From the first model to a place of your own.

Create at the scale that suits the idea: one interactive object, a composed story, a reusable asset library or an entire virtual building.

C1Story builder

Start your scene

Bring together USDZ 3D models, images, video and links, then arrange every element in the real world.

C2Interactions

Make objects respond

Add movement, doors, driving, collisions, appearance changes and game actions without leaving the spatial editor.

C3Virtual property

Build somewhere worth visiting

Create configurable buildings, rooms and terrain with portals, lifts, media, pedestals and playable spaces.

C4AR Gallery

Your spatial asset library

Organise AR assets into folders, preview them and choose whether each stays Private Only or becomes discoverable through HxAR’s public gallery.

C5Wired AR

Practise heating controls in AR

Wired AR lets you build heating-control circuits, introduce faults and test them with a simulated digital multimeter.

C7USDZ uploads

Bring your own 3D models

Select one or more USDZ files, review the HxElectrum total and save each successful upload as Private Only before organising it in AR Gallery.

C8Story markers

Place useful information in AR

Add creator-written information labels, link them to scene assets and position the optional Time Machine CALL point.

C9Lighting AR

Shape the scene with simulated light

Create Bulb or Panel lights, adjust their colour, strength, reach and shape, and tie them to assets that move.

C10Drive Groups

Turn separate assets into one assembly

Build and test a Simple, Robot, Car or Bike group with front, wheel, door and supported vehicle-light roles.

C11Gaming Groups

Build a virtual domino challenge

Lay styled domino runs on the scene floor or a support asset, then test, reset and share the visitor challenge.

C12Collision geometry

Draw virtual interaction shapes

Build Point, Flat and 3D collision shapes around saved assets while working within the 1,000-point scene budget.

AR Collision Builder

Draw the invisible geometry that makes a scene respond.

Add Point, Flat and 3D collision shapes around a saved scene’s assets, edit their dimensions and keep within a 1,000-point budget. This development tool has a documented media-save limitation, so read the guide before using it on an important scene.

Wired AR

Turn a technical sequence into a spatial practice surface.

The Wired AR development workspace arranges virtual controls, terminals and cable paths around a simulated meter. It is an educational simulation, not accredited training or permission to work on live equipment.
