Abstract

Systems and methods for generating an extended reality (XR) user interface are disclosed. A two-dimensional data set is imported. The two-dimensional data set defines a two-dimensional user interface design layout. The two-dimensional data set includes a transition data set corresponding to a user interface element included in the design layout. The two-dimensional data set is converted into a three-dimensional data set. The three-dimensional data set defines a three-dimensional user interface design layout corresponding to the two-dimensional design layout. The converting includes identifying three-dimensional art for each of a plurality of phases corresponding to the transition data set. An XR representation of the three-dimensional data set is provided for editing using an editing application associated with one or more XR devices. Based on the editing, the three-dimensional data set is exported as one or more files that are compatible with an XR development environment.
