Explore how to build React Native applications for virtual reality using Meta Quest in this comprehensive livestream session. Learn from Callstack Engineers' three months of hands-on experience developing VR applications, discovering how Meta Quest functions essentially as an Android device with an immersive layer that supports familiar development workflows. Understand the practical aspects of VR development including how Quest handles hand tracking, controllers, mouse, and keyboard interactions, while examining window resizing, repositioning, and virtual desktop integration that allows bringing Mac setups into VR environments. Follow along as the team demonstrates the standard React Native workflow carrying over to VR, showing how Expo Go installs directly from the Meta store and how new projects run as expected with apps becoming interactive floating windows. Watch a live-coding demonstration adding react-native-vision-camera to an Expo app, revealing how Quest integrates virtual cameras, passthrough features, and avatar systems when switching to front-facing camera mode. Gain insights into the accessibility of VR development using existing React Native knowledge and tools, understanding how close current web and mobile development skills translate to virtual reality application creation.
