React VR
In its present (winter 17/18) form React VR seems to be very much a user interface engine, rather than a general purpose VR toolkit. Facebook’s own use case for it is building UIs for its internal Oculus apps so that is hardly surprising. What it gives you good support for is a set of 2D UI controls placed on surfaces in a virtual environment, panoramic images for backgrounds, and simple display of rigid meshes loaded from the Obj file format.
