## What it is
ViroReact is a framework for building augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) experiences using React Native, running natively on iOS and Android. It supports ARKit, ARCore, and mobile VR platforms like Daydream, Gear VR, and Cardboard, and includes sample projects.

## Use cases
- build ar apps with react native
- create vr experiences for android and ios
- prototype augmented reality scenes using arkit and arcore
- develop cross-platform mobile vr applications
- render 3d content in a react native app

## When to choose
- you want to build AR/VR apps with React Native skills
- you need cross-platform ARKit/ARCore support from one codebase
- you want a free, MIT-licensed AR/VR platform with samples

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained AR tooling - development moved to the ViroCommunity fork
- you are building non-mobile AR/VR (e.g., desktop or web headsets)
- you don't use React Native
