Viro React

Viro React is a platform for developers to rapidly build augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) experiences. Developers write in React Native, and Viro runs their code natively across all mobile VR (including Google Daydream, Samsung Gear VR, and Google Cardboard for iOS and Android) and AR (iOS ARKit and Android ARCore) platforms. More info here.

This project contains various sample Viro projects.

Instructions for running sample code as a stand alone project (with no Testbed app):

Tried the samples through our Testbed app and now want to try deploying sample code to your device as standalone apps? These quick steps below should get you started:

1. Follow steps 1 - 4 from above (instructions for using with Testbed app)
2. For Android, make sure you have downloaded and installed Android Studio from here to get required SDK and platform-tools for building android apps Make sure you have the required environment variables set - $ANDROID_HOME, and added platform-tools to $PATH variable. If not,

   export ANDROID_HOME=/YOUR_PATH_TO/Android/sdk
   export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH
   export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH
   

   Build and launch android app by executing the following from the root of the project

   react-native run-android --variant=gvrDebug
   

3. For iOS, in Xcode open ViroSample.xcworkspace in ios/ directory. Select the right "Team" for ViroSample and ViroSampleTest target under General -> Signing Hit play to build and launch the app on your iOS device
