Neon Forge is a VR application adapted from Open Brush. Inspired by the 100 year anniversary of Route 66, the installation at the annual Bands of Enchantment music festival in Albuquerque. Neon Forge allowed audience members to design their own neon signs and send the files to themselves via email. The Neon Forge installation and application were designed to increase accessibility to XR experiences through intentional UX design.
