Viro Media offers a platform that lets JavaScript and React developers build augmented reality features—like AR selfie filters and magic portals—without the complexity of game engines. The product includes full support for Apple’s ARKit in iOS 11 and the company plans to add Google’s ARCore support later. Viro launched a sample app, Figment AR, to showcase what developers can build and to encourage experimentation. The platform is free and available now, and the company is also optimizing the stack for enterprise customers. While many current AR experiences are described as gimmicky, Viro’s tooling aims to enable existing apps to easily add AR functionality and broaden developer adoption.
