Hello everyone,
We've discovered an open source library named Viro that hadn't been updated in over two years. We've revitalized the library, enabling the creation of XR apps on the latest iOS and Android platforms. Our goal is to transform NativeVision into a versatile library that can be used across various XR devices, including Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest.
Our aim is to make it easy for React developers to start working on XR projects using React Native or Expo, much like how they would for iOS or Android apps.
If you have any feedback please share as it helps a lot!
What's the difference between XR and AR? It's the first time I've seen XR used.
Always exciting to see abandoned OSS projects get new life breathed into them. One of the biggest issues around React Native's ecosystem is how quickly some libs get abandoned. Props to you all for reviving this.
If anyone wants to DM about how we can improve , please email me here: christopherjcassar@gmail.com
Did ViroReact get revived? I really wanted to use it because Unity‘s dev experience sucks hard, but last I checked it was abandoned.
Great work!
Will this work in Expo without ejecting?
This is awesome. Any plans to add Apple Vision Pro?
Nice. But I thought Apple Vision Pro was not an XR device but instead "spatial computing". /s
Great to see more open cross-platform efforts to help with reactive development in XR. When I started building for Hololens (2016), I had to architect such a thing nearly from scratch.
How does this compare to existing efforts? such as:
- Babylon React Native (supported by Microsoft)
- VisionOS support being added to React Native (supported by Callstack)
