Rapid Cross-Platform AR Development with React Native

Augmented Reality's popularity is growing at an ever increasing rate, and it might seem as if native iOS and Android developers are the only ones who have the skills to keep up. Fortunately, a platform called Viro was created to enable web and mobile developers to develop cross-platform AR/VR experiences through the React Native framework. We'll take a brief look at what AR is and how it works, and then take a deep dive into Viro and everything it provides to get you moving rapidly with AR development. We'll focus on a few very interesting pieces that Viro provides, such as 3D models, portals, image recognition, and real life object recognition. By the end of this session, you will have the skills and inspiration to start working with AR immediately!
