That’s cool! What would the typical use case for this be (and why did Shopify build it)?



We actually built this to easily add hands to this concept video: https://twitter.com/StrangeNative/status/1613218237969494017...

Animating hands by hand (no pun intended) is horrendously difficult, so our 3D artist asked if we could help.

We built this within Shopify's Spatial Commerce team, which is a team that explores the intersection between AR/VR and commerce. Here are some of our other projects:

I am constantly impressed by what your team shares and the practical application of XR concepts. I find myself pointing people to your demos frequently and hope to see one or two implemented through to a purchase experience I can try at home. Thanks so much for all the output !!
