react-native-camera VS viro

GitHub Stars: 9.6k

for many years, react-native-camera was a good option for using the camera in react-native but now it's deprecated. a good option is react-native-camera-vision which includes a set of well-designed API. also this library is more optimized than react-native-camera.

There are some additional steps around adding permissions that we need to do. Follow instructions for iOS and/or Android.

Yup, this library will help you with camera access.

ViroReact popped up on Hacker New recently. https://github.com/NativeVision/viro

I used https://github.com/ViroCommunity/viro

Hey, that's a great suggestion that I hadn't considered! I'm having a look at Viro to see if it can help with that.

As I said earlier, using react native you can develop for any platform and not limited to mobile. But its not as easy as it sounds like. For desktop apps, React native Windows is used which is maintained by folks at Microsoft, and still in active development, so a lot of things might change. For VR app, ViroReact is used, which is again is in active development. So its development is not as convenient as expo, and for someone new to react native, i won't suggest going that route. But once you are experienced, not one is stopping you and these are great technologies to develop native apps.

I have googled and found a few libraries regarding AR/VR for react native. It seems to me that viro media has: https://github.com/ViroCommunity/viro and looks okay, but it seems that they haven't released anything in a while. I'm trying to create an AR app that is retail focused like this: https://imgur.com/a/tUMgu1W

React Viro (https://virocommunity.github.io/ - the official viromedia one has been discontinued)

The best open source source code I know is: https://github.com/ViroCommunity/viro/blob/main/readmes/EXAMPLES.md It use javascript , react-native and you can compile it with android and ios But you will need to pay the dev license to google and appla you can use Transparent Videos , Text or 3D animations

Check out Viro. I used it a few years ago and it was pretty easy. Not sure on the quality now, but it’s at least worth a look: https://virocommunity.github.io/
