Once the platform, Studio, and the MCP server run on your hardware, nothing needs to leave your network.
The position
Defence programmes should not be tied to a headset vendor or a public cloud. ReactVision builds every layer of its stack, from the ViroCore rendering engine to the AI tooling, with no third-party engine underneath. So the same application runs on Meta Quest today and on your own hardware when you need it. You build the hardware. We bring the end to end platform, from renderer to tooling to infrastructure, inside your boundary.
ReactVision is a complete AR and VR development platform for the defence industry: the open-source ViroReact renderer, the ReactVision Studio editor, ReactVision Platform infrastructure (Cloud Anchors, Geospatial Anchors, multi-user colocation, and asset hosting), and the ViroReact MCP server for AI coding agents, all deployable inside a secure environment and onto custom hardware.
Any supported device, or your own hardware
01 / 07
ViroReact has no hardware vendor lock-in. Ship to the devices we support today, or bring your own hardware and we create a custom build for it. Both paths run the same codebase, with the same tools.

02 / 07
Defence programmes need AR and VR that works on their hardware, on their network, with their AI tooling. ReactVision supplies every layer, and every layer deploys inside the boundary.
01Renderer
An open-source renderer for AR interfaces to advanced systems
ViroReact is the MIT-licensed renderer at the base of the stack. Use it to build AR interfaces that sit over complex equipment, vehicles, and systems: overlays that explain what an operator is looking at, procedures anchored to the hardware in front of them, and live data rendered in place. Your engineers write it in TypeScript and React Native. There is no licence fee, no runtime fee, and nothing you cannot read.
Licence
MIT. Full source on GitHub.
Language
TypeScript and React Native.
Native runtimes
ARKit, ARCore, and OpenXR, with native draw calls.
Perception
Plane and world-mesh detection, image and object recognition, on-device object detection, depth occlusion, semantic masking.
Audit
Every line inspectable. Build it from source yourself.
02Hardware
No hardware vendor lock-in: any supported device, or your own
Building a simulation for Meta Quest? Deploy there today, alongside iOS and Android, from one codebase. Building for your own hardware? ViroCore, the native engine under ViroReact, is ours end to end with no third-party engine underneath it, so we can quickly create a custom build for your bespoke headset, hand-held, or vehicle-mounted display. Running ViroReact on your device also opens our developer tools and infrastructure to it: ViroReact and the MCP server for your engineers, Studio for your subject matter experts, and Platform for anchors, colocation, and asset hosting. You build the hardware. We bring the end to end development platform, from renderer to tooling to infrastructure.
Supported today
iOS, Android, Meta Quest, and Apple Vision Pro from one project. Android XR coming.
Your hardware
A custom ViroCore build for your device, scoped with your hardware team and delivered as an engagement.
Engine
ViroCore, ReactVision's own native rendering engine. Not built on Unity, Unreal, or any vendor's engine.
Tooling
ViroReact, Studio, and the MCP server work unchanged on the new target.
Precedent
ViroCore has rendered a camera-and-gyroscope AR demo on a Nintendo 3DS.
03Infrastructure
Deploy the ReactVision infrastructure in secure environments
Run ReactVision Platform on your own hardware inside your locked-down environment. Cloud Anchors, Geospatial Anchors, and multi-user colocation resolve against servers you operate, so shared and persistent AR works for teams in the field and in the facility without a request reaching the public internet. Studio and asset hosting deploy alongside, so scenes and 3D content are authored, stored, and updated inside the boundary.
Cloud Anchors
Persistent, shared AR content anchored through your servers.
Geospatial Anchors
Content fixed to real-world coordinates, resolved on-premises.
Colocation
Several users share one aligned space on the same site.
Studio and asset hosting
Author scenes and update 3D content in live apps, inside your network.
Commercials
Fixed licence plus maintenance.
04AI tooling
Run our MCP server inside your environment
The ViroReact MCP server gives AI coding agents current ViroReact knowledge and six validation tools: it runs scenes in a real renderer, checks them against the real component APIs, diagnoses crash logs, checks 3D models against performance budgets, compares renders, and converts between Studio and code. Deploy it inside your environment and your own secure AI agents get all of it, with no prompt, scene, or asset leaving your network.
Protocol
Model Context Protocol. Works with any compliant agent.
Knowledge
Full component catalogue, prop schemas, events, and working examples.
Validation
Scene execution, structural checks, error diagnosis, performance budgets, render comparison, Studio and code conversion.
Deployment
On your servers, reachable only by your agents.
Data
Nothing leaves your environment.
What runs where

Why controlling the full stack matters
04 / 07
Most XR tools give you a renderer and leave the rest to you, or lock you into an engine you cannot inspect or port. ReactVision builds the complete stack, which is what makes the propositions above possible.
01
We own every layer
The rendering engine, the renderer, the platform, the editor, and the MCP server are all built by ReactVision. A port to new hardware is our decision and our work, not a negotiation with an engine vendor, and no headset maker can end your programme by ending a product line.
02
Open where it counts
The renderer that runs on your devices is open source and auditable. The commercial layers deploy on your hardware with fixed pricing. You know exactly what is running and where.
03
Built by the engineers you have
ViroReact is a React Native library. Cleared developers who know TypeScript build AR and VR interfaces with the tools they already use, and no specialist engine team is needed.
The renderer is the same ViroReact that sees tens of thousands of npm installs every month and ships in production apps today. Defence customers get the same code, deployed differently.
Defence applications for AR and VR

Defence AR and VR questions, answered
07 / 07
What is ReactVision for defence?
ReactVision is a complete AR and VR development platform for the defence industry: the open-source ViroReact renderer, the ReactVision Studio editor, ReactVision Platform infrastructure (Cloud Anchors, Geospatial Anchors, multi-user colocation, and asset hosting), and the ViroReact MCP server for AI coding agents, all deployable inside a secure environment and onto custom hardware.
Can ReactVision run entirely inside a closed network?
Yes. ReactVision Platform, ReactVision Studio, and the ViroReact MCP server deploy on your own hardware inside your network, and the ViroReact renderer runs natively on the device. Once deployed, no request needs to leave your environment.
Which parts of ReactVision are open source?
The ViroReact renderer is open source under the MIT licence, with the full source on GitHub. ReactVision Platform, ReactVision Studio, and the ViroReact MCP server are commercial products that deploy on-premises for defence customers.
Can the renderer run on hardware ReactVision has not shipped on before?
Yes. ReactVision builds the native rendering engine and every layer above it, so we can port the renderer to custom headsets, hand-helds, and vehicle-mounted displays. Ports are scoped with your hardware team as part of an engagement, and your developers keep using the same ViroReact tooling and codebase.
Does building with ReactVision lock us into Meta Quest or another hardware vendor?
No. The same ViroReact codebase deploys to iOS, Android, and Meta Quest today, and ViroCore, the native engine underneath ViroReact, is built by ReactVision with no third-party engine beneath it. If you want to run on your own hardware, ReactVision creates a custom build for that device and your application moves across without a re-write. That port also brings the developer tools and infrastructure to your device: ViroReact and the MCP server, Studio, and Platform anchors, colocation, and asset hosting. You build the hardware, ReactVision brings the end to end development platform.
Do Cloud Anchors and Geospatial Anchors work without the public internet?
Yes, when ReactVision Platform is deployed on your servers. Cloud Anchors, Geospatial Anchors, and multi-user colocation resolve against your own infrastructure rather than the managed ReactVision cloud.
What does the MCP server do when it runs inside our environment?
It gives your own AI coding agents accurate, current ViroReact knowledge and six validation tools: scene execution in a real renderer, structural scene checks, error and crash log diagnosis, performance budget checks, render comparison, and conversion between ReactVision Studio scenes and ViroReact code. Because it runs on your servers, prompts, scenes, and assets stay inside your network.
Do we need specialist XR engineers?
No. ViroReact is a React Native library, so developers who know TypeScript build AR and VR interfaces with the tools they already use. Subject matter experts can also build scenes visually in ReactVision Studio.
How is an on-premises deployment priced?
On-premises deployments are a fixed licence plus maintenance, rather than usage-based cloud pricing. Book a call and we will scope a pilot and a quote for your environment.
