Origami Studio is an all-in-one design tool developed by Meta that allows designers to create, animate, and prototype interactive user interfaces with advanced capabilities. It is built to bridge the gap between static design and fully functional product experiences.
The primary features of Origami Studio revolve around a dual-editor workflow. It introduces Canvas, a visual space for laying out prototypes using freeform drawing, text editing, and visual components, which supports dynamic layouts that automatically respond to changes for faster iteration. For powerful interactions, the Patch Editor allows designers to connect logical blocks (patches) to define complex animations and behaviors. The studio makes it easy to work from Figma by allowing designers to copy and paste editable vector shape and text layers directly. Critically, Origami enables prototypes to tap into native hardware APIs, with patches for accessing device features such as the Photo Library, Audio Metering, Haptic Feedback, GPS data, and Device Motion (accelerometer and gyroscope information). Finally, sharing is streamlined, as users can Record their prototypes as video and Share Nearby with Origami Live to facilitate easy critique and review sessions.
