StudioFrame releases MotionKit, a motion design toolkit for AR, and grabs $5M seed

Design · 3 min read

MotionKit offers a visual timeline, physics-driven transitions, and a library of AR-native motion primitives tuned for headsets and mobile AR. It exports runtime-ready animations and provides heuristics to avoid motion sickness while maintaining expressive interactions.

The $5 million seed was led by Meridian Partners and several founders of major XR studios. Funds will be used to deepen integrations with AR engines, add collaborative workflows, and create a plugin ecosystem for third-party motion packs.

StudioFrame emphasized usability for design teams: MotionKit can import component states from existing design tools and map them to spatial animations with minimal technical overhead. The company expects MotionKit to reduce the friction of shipping refined AR interactions across prototypes to production.
