reactvision

Build native AR/VR apps using React Native without learning Unity

Overview

A full-stack spatial computing suite that provides an open-source renderer (ViroReact), a visual scene editor, and cloud infrastructure for geospatial AR and 3D asset management.

Key features

Open-source ViroReact renderer (MIT licensed)
Write once, ship to iOS, Android, Meta Quest natively
Web-based visual scene editor (ReactVision Studio)
Managed cloud platform with Cloud Anchors and Geospatial AR
AI-powered 3D asset creation
ViroReact MCP Server for AI coding agents
Studio AI Agent for visual builders
StudioGo companion app for live device preview
Enterprise deployment options (cloud or on-premises)

Pros

Single codebase for multiple platforms reduces development time
Open-source renderer with MIT license ensures long-term accessibility
Leverages familiar React Native ecosystem and developer skills
Integrated AI tooling accelerates development
Visual editor lowers barrier to entry for non-coders
Enterprise support and on-premises deployment available

Cons

Relatively new as independent company (spun out in late 2025)
Smaller ecosystem compared to established game engines like Unity
visionOS support noted as coming, not yet available

Use this if

You want to build AR/VR apps using React Native without learning a new engine; you need cross-platform spatial app deployment; you prefer open-source tooling; you want AI-assisted development.

Skip this if

You need mature, battle-tested game engine ecosystems; you require extensive third-party asset libraries; you need visionOS support today.
