About Gravity Sketch
Gravity Sketch is a 3D design tool used for concept modeling, available in virtual reality and on tablets. Instead of building shapes on a flat screen with a mouse, designers create and refine forms directly in three-dimensional space, which suits early-stage ideation for products, vehicles and other physical designs.
Gravity Sketch is a proprietary commercial product, installed as an app on a headset or tablet rather than self-hosted. It is typically used by design teams that want to sketch ideas quickly in 3D and share them with colleagues before moving into detailed CAD.
