This week, we released a major update to ViroReact, giving developers more creative freedom thanks to the introduction of custom shaders 🎨 But what are shaders? 🤔 #ViroReact #AR #ReactNative #OpenSource

ViroReact 2.52.0 is now available! 📢 This release marks a significant milestone for the library, introducing Cross-Platform Custom Shaders. Developers can now bypass standard material models to create bespoke visual effects, advanced animations, and stylized rendering pipelines that work seamlessly across both iOS and Android. Empower your AR/VR applications with the new standard in visual control. Read the full changelog, link in the comments 🔗 #ViroReact #OpenSource #AugmentedReality #AR #VR

Better AR depth on more supported devices. Fewer bugs. 🚀 Our latest ViroReact update is out, and it’s a big one. The Highlight: We’ve added Monocular Depth for iOS using the Depth Anything v2 CoreML model. This brings real-time, high-fidelity depth maps to non-LiDAR devices like the iPhone 16 and 17. The Fixes: 🛠 Android: Fixed navigation black screens with Expo Router. 🛠 iOS: Plugged ARFrame memory leaks. 🛠 Stability: Resolved thread deadlocks and particle crashes. To use the new depth features, grab the model link in our docs and start building today. 👇 https://lnkd.in/eSF5Tu4j #ViroReact #AugmentedReality #AR #DevTools #ReactNative

From slop to useful? What started as a silly experiment is now the easiest way to prototype AR on your phone: text-to-3D, image-to-3D, build scenes, capture real-world photos with your creations overlaid, share ideas in seconds. No skills needed, just imagination, from pub pranks to proper concepts. Should we release this? #ViroReact #AR #VR
