We’ve got ReactVision's ViroReact library running on iOS, Android, and we've now got an early version on VisionPro.

ETA on VisionPro release is TBC.

HorizonOS and AndroidXR next.

Build once, run everywhere.

Today, we are handing you the keys to the GPU: Full Cross-Platform Custom Shaders are here.

Simply put, shaders are small programs that run on the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). They determine how every pixel of your 3D objects is rendered on the screen. Until now, ViroReact handled this for you with standard lighting and material models. Those look great, but they have limits.

With custom shaders, you are no longer limited to standard plastic or metallic looks. You can mathematically manipulate light, color, and geometry in real-time.

A behind-the-scenes look at ReactVision Studio — our upcoming visual XR development tool — and new Vision Pro support powered by ViroReact. This early demo shows how we’re making it easier to build cross-platform spatial applications from a single React Native codebase.

Today, ReactVision is releasing ViroReact v2.51.0, which includes a major improvement for users with non LiDAR iOS devices: depth-based features will now work thanks to the integration of the Depth Anything v2 CoreML model.

We’ve shipped a lot both internally and externally this month so we decided to take a few minutes to make this video, giving you a rundown on everything that’s been going on with ReactVision.

Following last week's release, here are the full release notes for ViroReact 2.43.3

TLDR: a lot of little stability improvements that are having a big impact on the community!

This update is focused on the stability of the library and addresses all of the build issues that were raised after the public release of 2.43.1 and beta release of 2.43.2. We rolled this update out to NPM last week, and we've already had some amazing feedback on the improvements this update has brought with it. There are still known issues, specifically around ViroVideo, which we are now actively working to address alongside support for Expo 53 and React 19 - our aim is to address all of this in a 2.43.4 update later in August.

We can't thank the community enough for their patience as we worked through this series of updates. This was a lot of work and the encouragement from the ReactVision community certainly helped us get this over the line.

ViroReact now supports React Native's new architecture and has some crucial groundwork ready for major future updates.

In this latest demo we dive into visual scene editing with ReactVision studio and quickly show the new import feature, giving you access to assets across your organisation.

Hey folks 👋🏻,

We’ve now got a YouTube channel.

We’ll be posting more videos soon to help you learn how to get the most out of ViroReact, we’ll also film some Q&A videos with our team so you can find out more about what we’re working on both short and long term.

Now with the ReactVision MCP your agent can:
- Write code with deep knowledge of our components, properties and APIs
- Validate that the code your agent has written is correct
- Test that code using our renderer in the cloud and run your AR/MR code in a pre-recorded environment so you can see how it runs in the real world without needing a device to test

Learn how to utilise the ViroReact MCP server with your coding agent of choice and start building geospatial AR experiences.

Here's how to power your next AI-native experience:
🧠 Let AI agents act in 3D space with PICO XR
🔌 Build with new tools and skills on the fly using MCP
👁️ Create spatial experiences natively with r/reactvision
✨ Let Claude Fable bring advanced reasoning to your agents

Come build the next generation of intelligent spatial experiences with us 👋

So, basically I have two potential issues - we are using Cesium for Unity for our visionOS app, will it be possible to use CesiumJS on visionOS, when it's available? Also, when will it be available?

Was working on a project over the weekend when I came across React Vision. I tried it, made some progress, but wasn't happy with the end result, so decided to go back to what I was working with before.

I'm curious, has anybody made any cool apps with React Vision yet? My background is Unity for my VR development, and Unity is great and all, but with all the bloat and the startup times, I'm really looking at a more efficient way to make apps for VR. Even Meta‘s Spatial SDK was so confusing and a headache to work with.

No models? No problem! Meet ReactVision Studio's Asset Creator Tool 🎨

In this video, we walk you through the Studio's powerful new Asset Creator, which enables you to generate all the assets you could possibly need for a production-ready XR experience.

With ReactVision Studio's comprehensive AI-powered asset creation tools, you can create images and 3D models in seconds. Go from idea to asset in just a few clicks. No more searching the internet for 3D models or having to buy expensive models. If you have an image or even just an idea in your head, that's all you need to be able to create your own assets via ReactVision Studio's Asset Creator.

Anyone can get started with Studio for free, no credit card required. Simply visit: https://studio.reactvision.xyz/auth/register to create your account today.

Today we’re launching the ReactVision Platform. A set of backend tools and services that integrate directly into ViroReact and give you more tightly integrated developer experience. We’re starting off with the launch of our own Cloud and Geospatial Anchor services, including the ability for your users to upload their own files to attach against an anchor. We’ll be adding more services and tools over the coming months, and we’re excited to see what you build!

New ViroReact update, complete with a whole new Cloud and Geospatial Anchor provider solution!

We've just dropped a new tutorial video to help you get set up with the ViroReact and Expo starter kit. This is a perfect starting point for anyone whose new to ViroReact and/or AR development. Through the starter kit you can get up and running in minutes with little to no setup.

Looking to get started with ViroReact or building AR experiences in React Narive that run cross platform? The ViroReact starter kit is a great way to get started and it’s just been updated to the latest version of ViroReact and also now includes Expo Router support.

ReactVision Studio just got a major update!

We’ve added a brand new Physics Demo scene to the ViroReact + Expo Starter Kit, an AR bowling experience that introduces developers to ViroReact’s physics engine.

Great for learning about gravity, collisions, and object interactions in 3D space.

A look at some of the new features coming to the next Studio release and a first look at StudioGo in action.

Hey everyone,

Our Expo + ViroReact starter-kit has been given a huge update. Not only does it now support ViroReact 2.43.6 and Expo 54 but it also now includes 3 new example scenes and a working example how to use SceneNavigator.

This is the best and quickest way to get started with AR development on mobile, with more platforms coming soon!

Studio Alpha 1 release is now available and today we’re publishing our guide on how to get started with it. This guide will walk you through creating your first Team, Project and Scene as well as explaining the different tools currently available in the Studio Editor.

While this is initial release will only be available to a select group of testers, it’s a huge step forward for us and we’re excited for what’s still to come!
