Goodbye Flatland! An introduction to ReactVR and what it means for web developers
summary
ReactVR shows that a full stereoscopic panorama and head-tracking view is runnable with the CLI scaffold, a single index.vr.js and a pano/panel component instead of pages of WebGL boilerplate, so the demo actually displays a 3D gallery. The build uses exported Blender meshes with the mesh component and flexbox layout plus Animated for scrolling. UX guidance gives concrete numbers: comfortable view ~70° sitting, 230° turning, keep content 0.5–20 m away, devices ~10–12 PPD today vs 60 PPD target, and avoid acceleration or moving the camera to prevent simulation sickness.
