Seven years ago, Inga embarked on her entrepreneurial journey, captivated by the transformative potential of Virtual Reality. She co-founded Tvori, a pioneering VR animation software that aimed to revolutionize storytelling and 3D animation. During Tvori's development, Inga and her team recognized a crucial need: XR apps must be built within the medium of the user, in XR, to significantly expedite the process and create truly authentic experiences. This insight led to the creation of ShapesXR, a platform designed to democratize the creation of immersive content, including VR, AR, and Mixed Reality applications, games, and experiences.
