Mixed Reality platforms motivate both, a need, and a compelling immersive environment for 3D content creation. The ability to view and interact in-situ, at scale, and in 3D, removes barriers between the creator and their creation, but introduces control, precision, and ergonomic challenges. This talk will explore issues of human factors, user preference and bias, as well as haptic constraints and feedback, in the design of 3D content creation tools for XR.
