# VR App Development

Build immersive VR apps with React Native, WebXR, and AI-native workflows that move prototypes from concept to real devices faster.

_[Expert Engineering](/ai-native-engineering) › [End-to-End Product Development](/capabilities/end-to-end-product-development)_

**Ship to VR, reuse your code**

Ship immersive apps for Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest without a new team or stack. Reuse your React Native code to validate spatial computing fast, then invest once it proves out.

[Book consultation](#contact) · [How it works](#what-you-get)

## End-to-End Product Development

- 100+ Enterprise projects delivered
- React Foundation Founding Member · 300+ commits to React Native · Contributing since 2016
- 3x Delivery acceleration · 80% Effort executed by agents
- Industry runs on our tooling · 50M+ OSS downloads / month
- 5 Platforms under one React Native codebase · tvOS · Fire TV · Tizen · LG · Vizio
- Expensify uses agent-device. Mobile bug evidence and profiling are part of its documented usage story.

## What you get: Reuse your stack for spatial apps.
- **Spatial-first interface** Built for eye, hand, and controller input, 3D layering, and native spatial patterns, so it feels at home on both Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest.
- **Native platform behavior** Immersive spaces and window management on visionOS through RealityKit and SwiftUI, plus native panels on Meta Horizon OS (built on Android). Wired in from day one.
- **Shared architecture** React Native reuses your logic, state, and design system across mobile, web, visionOS, and Meta Quest. No rebuild.
- **Validate before you commit** Prototype and test VR as an opportunity, not a bet-the-roadmap rewrite. Commit only when it proves out.
- **Through store review** We guide you past both Apple's visionOS requirements and Meta's Horizon Store guidelines: behavior, performance, and spatial UX expectations.
- **Built on open source** We created React Native for visionOS and React Native for Meta Horizon OS, so you build for both headsets in JavaScript.
- **AI-native engineering** Agents scaffold spatial UI, wire up integrations, and run tests under senior review, so you prototype and iterate VR concepts in days, not quarters.
- **Enterprise-ready from pilot to rollout** A clear path from one pilot to production across teams, backed by 100+ enterprise projects serving billions of users, so VR clears enterprise review and scales when it proves out.

**Ship to Vision Pro and Meta Quest** Prototype, build, and ship production-ready spatial apps for Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest, without starting from scratch. [Book consultation](#contact)

We’ll connect you with the right expert within 24 hours.

## Let’s find the right path for your product.

Still have questions?
Whether you’re planning new work or unblocking an existing product, we’ll help you choose the right path forward.
**Can I build a spatial app using React Native?**

Yes. We created React Native for visionOS and React Native for Meta Horizon OS, so you build for both Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest in JavaScript, with no rewrite in Swift or RealityKit.
**How much of my existing React Native code can I reuse?**

A lot. React Native reuses your logic, state, and design system across mobile, web, visionOS, and Meta Quest, so you extend your product instead of rebuilding it.
**Do you support native spatial components like RealityView or portals?**

Yes. We wire in native platform behavior, immersive spaces and window management on visionOS through RealityKit and SwiftUI, plus native panels on Meta Horizon OS, so you can mix spatial interfaces with declarative React components.
**Can you help us get our app through store review?**

Yes. We guide you past both Apple's visionOS requirements and Meta's Horizon Store guidelines, covering behavior, performance, and spatial UX expectations.
**Is React Native fast enough for VR apps?**

For many use cases, yes. React Native suits interface-heavy spatial apps, training simulations, and productivity tools that don't require ultra-high FPS or low-level graphics work.
**How early is too early to start with VR?**

Now is a good time. You can prototype and test VR as an opportunity, not a bet-the-roadmap rewrite, and commit only once it proves out.
**Can you build for Meta Quest, not just Apple Vision Pro?**

Yes. We support both headsets. Because we built React Native for Meta Horizon OS and React Native for visionOS, the same React Native stack ships to Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro.
**How do you use AI in spatial app delivery?**

Agents scaffold spatial UI, wire up integrations, and run tests under senior engineer review. That lets you prototype and iterate VR concepts in days, not quarters, with experts checking the work.
