It's well suited when reaching a general population who's not too tech-savvy and isn't well integrated with the current VR ecosystem. To get into Google VR all you need is a Google Cardboard and a phone with the supported software. The setup for an Oculus and other devices really takes a lot of time to set up and equipment. That's Google VR's greatest factor.

We are implementing React Native framework for the development of the Front-End for the machine learning models maintenance and monitoring website. It provides meaningful error messages, and time-saving and robust tools make it a premium choice over other platforms. Moreover, it provides intelligent debugging tools and error report mechanisms. And most importantly for us, it provides the aesthetic minimal functionality to learn in order to implement it, thereby eliminating the need to work in Xcode or Android Studio for iOS or Android apps respectively.

  • Performance is still lower than native app development (Kotlin, Swift, etc.)
  • Not efficient design-wise (if you are planning to implement some advanced design, then you should reconsider the approach provided by React Native)
  • Issues with the update to the last release of React Native

Google VR lets us use Google lens. Google lens is the best way to find a certain place, object, or thing in a live form. We can a ticket, and using scanning the barcode using google lens tells us the arrival and departure. We can copy a text and paste it onto our laptop screen. We can try any outfit virtually and look if it's in our room.

Decision for React Native came mainly from the big popularity of the framework. Thus, we had a big base of resources we could come back to. We also used it because it is a javascript framework. Thus, we could utilize the already existing experience in javascript and web development to ensure a smoother implementation of the app.
