In advance of the Augmented Reality Workshop, please make sure you have the boilerplate prepared! Please complete the following steps ahead of time. This will give us more time to focus on the fun parts of the workshop!
Make sure your computer is set up to develop react native applications. This means that with a generic react-native init <project>
you are able to get something up and running in react native.
We will be using phones instead of simulators: Please make sure your phone supports AR Applications!
- Download Viromedia app to your phone, we need this for its TestBed feature which will help us iterate faster!
- globally install ngrok with npm or yarn
- globally install react-viro-cli with npm or yarn
- Using the react-viro-cli, create the app with
react-viro init **[MyJSWorkshop]**
- Run the app: npm start
- Ngrok should give you a forwarding address at https://[myurl].ngrok.io
- Find the testbed on the ViroMedia app and enter that address in. If all goes well, your app should render!
