Gravity Sketch provides an immersive 3D design platform that runs on VR headsets and desktop, enabling designers to sketch, surface, and refine geometry at true‑to‑scale using mesh, NURBS, and subdivision tools. The platform includes real‑time multi‑user collaboration, cloud‑based file management with version control, and built‑in measurement and ergonomics widgets to validate spatial constraints early, reducing physical prototyping and design cycle time.

Problem
Traditional product design workflows rely on 2‑D CAD screens and physical prototypes, which makes early spatial validation, ergonomics testing, and cross‑functional collaboration slow, costly, and prone to late‑stage redesign.
Solution
Gravity Sketch delivers an immersive 3D workspace that runs on standalone or tethered VR headsets and on standard desktops. Designers can sketch, surface, and refine geometry at true‑to‑scale using a custom 3D engine that supports mesh, NURBS, and subdivision surfaces. The platform synchronises multiple users in real time, allowing teams to review, annotate, and iterate on models without leaving the virtual environment. Integrated cloud storage (LandingPad) handles imports, exports, and version control, while evaluation tools such as orthographic viewports, laser pointers, and ergonomic measurement widgets let users validate spatial constraints and manufacturability early in the process. The solution thus compresses design cycles, reduces physical prototyping, and improves decision quality across distributed teams.
Target Audience
Product and industrial designers, automotive and transportation engineers, footwear and apparel design teams, and cross‑functional R&D groups that need rapid, spatially accurate concept development and collaborative review.
Features
- VR‑compatible with standalone (e.g., Meta Quest) and tethered headsets; also fully functional on desktop screens.
- Native 3D sketching engine with customizable brushes, layer management, and support for mesh, NURBS, and Subdivision geometry.
- Real‑time multi‑user collaboration: synchronous editing, voice chat, persistent annotations, and asynchronous room access.
- Cloud‑based LandingPad: unlimited 3D file imports/exports (OBJ, STL, FBX, USDZ, IGES), 3 GB per user storage (Free tier 150 MB), versioning, and shared libraries of reference models.
- Evaluation toolkit: orthographic and perspective viewports, laser pointer, measurement widgets, ergonomics checks, and viewpoint bookmarking.
- AR/MR preview mode for 1:1 scale placement and accessibility testing in the real world.
- Enterprise security features: SSO, mandatory 2FA, data backup, audit logs, and role‑based access controls.
- API and SDK for integration with existing CAD pipelines and downstream manufacturing tools.
- Cross‑platform SDK (Unity/Unreal) for custom extensions and workflow automation.
