This is the code repository for Getting Started with React VR, published by Packt. It contains all the supporting project files necessary to work through the book from start to finish.
Virtual Reality, from a computer standpoint, has been around since the 1960s. It started up again in a big way in the late 90's, and then mostly collapsed for a while—although it's never really gone away. It is back now, and, this time, it is here to stay.
All of the code is organized into folders. Each folder starts with a number followed by the application name. For example, Chapter02.
The code will look like the following:
<Box
dimWidth={4}
dimDepth={1}
dimHeight={9}
lit
/>
You will need a Windows PC, of nearly any type; for maximum enjoyment, you will need VR rig. Either an HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, a Samsung Gear VR, Google Daydream, or other VR goggles (including the Google Cardboard) and a cell phone.
You can develop these WebVR worlds even if you don't have a sophisticated Head Mounted Display (HMD) or VR Headset ; you can view them in flat mode on your regular computer screen. You can pick up a simple VR cell phone holder/headset (Google Cardboard or similar) for less than 20 dollars or even free in many places, so don't let hardware be a barrier to learning about the next great thing.
