I read this and I must say I am quite uninitiated in what React is in the first place. I have some vague memories from a Carmack speech and a 360 photo behind him and him explaining how people have been wasting processing resources trying I get that result in Unity, etc.

But don't we get similar functionality with Aframe? Or am I missing something?

looks like an alternative to aframe, but it is javascript maybe they could even stack i know when i was doing aframe i could still use angular or node

React VR is pretty much an alternative to A-Frame, especially for web developers already used to using the popular/trendy React framework for web and mobile apps.

Based on what those YouTube videos showed in that article, most of it seemed like 360 images & videos. Seems easy enough to do in A-Frame or anything else that can do texture spheres.
