Neon is a mixed-reality drawing app that allows the user to create personal neon designs, using either their hand or a controller to draw. Inspired by a love of neon signs, I figured being able to design and display your neon drawings in mixed-reality would be a fun and visually impressive showcase of the creative potential of mixed-reality. With a mix of real-time lighting and reflections, the hope is that the artworks you will lovingly create will look like they really exist in your space.
Neon incorporates multiple components of Meta's SDK to add to the experience. We used the Interaction SDK to allow for both controller and hand tracking for the app's UX. We utilized passthrough and scene perception to allow for mixed reality drawing and lighting + reflections on the user's environment surfaces. We also incorporated Spatial Anchors to keep track of line positioning and save them between sessions.
We hope to further elevate the app with additional features such as creating a social gallery to allow users to share artwork with others. We also have plans like more customizations and styles for your line art to give each artwork a unique feel, as well as further refining the editor tools to allow for more freedom to tweak your designs.
