Flock XR: Keyboard + Mobile/Touchscreen UX
Creative coding platform for 3D virtual worlds and spatial apps
Flock XR is a visual creativity and coding tool that allows young people to create 3D experiences in a web browser. Flock XR allows young people and beginners to create apps relevant to the virtual worlds that they use socially. Through creating with Flock XR, young people develop technical and creative skills such as coding and working in 3D space with 3D models and animations. They will be able to create using extended reality features including VR, Augmented Reality, 3D printing and spatial audio. This puts them on the path to amazing career opportunities across many industries. Flock XR is being developed with an inclusion-first approach using co-design techniques with young people in our pilots. Our current focus is on making Flock XR accessible to more users with work to add keyboard controls for block-based coding and 3D creation, and improvements on the user experience on mobile and touch screen devices.
