Praveen Yalamanchi Presents: ReactVR - a VR Workshop with Javascript - BocaJS

This month's BocaJS is sure to blow your mind!

Praveen Yalamanchi will be presenting a Workshop showing us how you can use ReactVR to create the future of Development using Virtual Reality

He'll be showcasing: React VR 2.0 which was just released. Now everyone knows React is taking over the JS World, well it's taking over VR as well.

It's fine if you know Unity3D or if you want to learn ONE mobile platform's way of doing VR. But what if you could build a VR Experience that anyone in the world could use TODAY.

Of course you could do it the old fashion way and read all 3,000 pages from the official website: https://facebook.github.io/react-vr/

But with VR, you have to EXPERIENCE it!

Praveen suggests Watching this video to understand HOW it is that the VR Headset works allowing you to believe you are in another world within your VR Headset
