Build native AR apps
with React Native and Expo.

Why ViroReact for React Native AR

Most AR engines hand you a renderer and leave the rest to figure out. ViroReact is built around the React Native model you already know, so the learning curve is shorter and the code stays clean.

Mobile AR features, built in

Everything you need to ship a production AR experience, tracking, anchoring, interaction, audio, and rendering, lives inside a single library.

Looks like React Native, because it is

A scene is a component. A 3D object is a component. Anchors, lights, and materials are all props.

import { ViroARScene, ViroARPlane, Viro3DObject } from '@reactvision/react-viro';

export function Scene() {
  return (
    <ViroARScene>
      {/* Snap content to the first detected horizontal surface */}
      <ViroARPlane minHeight={0.3} minWidth={0.3} alignment={"Horizontal"}>
        <Viro3DObject
          source={require('./assets/model.glb')}
          position={[0, 0, 0]}
          scale={[0.2, 0.2, 0.2]}
          type="GLB"
          onClick={() => console.log('tapped')}
        />
      </ViroARPlane>
    </ViroARScene>
  );
}

ViroReact vs Unity AR Foundation vs Niantic Lightship

If you have a React Native team shipping a mobile app, ViroReact fits the stack you already use, no new engine and no new language.

Code your AI assistant already understands

ViroReact is built on React Native, one of the best-understood stacks in the world for both human developers and AI coding agents. Declarative JSX, typed props, familiar patterns, and a dedicated MCP server so your agent writes spatial code that runs first time.

Need Cloud Anchors, Geospatial AR, or 3D assets?

ViroReact is the renderer. For the parts that need infrastructure, ReactVision Studio plugs straight in. Add an rvApiKey and rvProjectId, and the platform handles the rest.
