Viro provides a mobile VR development platform built on a custom rendering engine and React Native, allowing mobile and web developers to add native VR without learning game engines like Unity. The company targets non-gaming applications and aims to lower the barrier to VR by using familiar tools and requiring less code. Viro’s goal is to get developers up and running in a VR environment within about half an hour to enable the quick turnaround times mobile teams expect. The first public release is free, with sample code on GitHub and a Viro Media app for iOS and Android. The plan is to keep the core toolset free initially and add premium services later as companies decide to adopt the platform more fully.
