Morrow Acquires ReactVision and the ViroReact library

ReactVision Joins Morrow's Family of Open-Source Projects

‍

‍

Today I’m excited to announce that Morrow has acquired ReactVision and all its repositories—including the ViroReact library, the lead library for developing AR applications with React Native. 

I want to emphasise from the start that there are no plans for any major changes to the library you know and love. Our goal with this acquisition is simple: to protect and nurture a library that so many people rely on, ensuring its continued development and stability for years to come.

So who is Morrow? We’re an app development company specializing in React Native and Expo. Operating across UK, Europe, and the US, we’re a small but growing company with a strong technical focus. 

We understand how essential these tools are for building innovative apps, which is why we’re committing more regular development resources to ViroReact.

We ask for your patience as we work diligently to resolve issues as quickly as we can. Given our lean team, there may be times when fixes take a bit longer than desired. However, if an issue with ViroReact is impacting a commercial project, please know that our development services are available to expedite resolutions on a paid basis—ensuring you and the community receive faster support when critical needs arise.

I truly believe that augmented reality could become the interface of choice for modern computing. With artificial intelligence evolving as the engine processing all our data to get us what we want when we need it, AR stands poised to become the visual interface for the next era of devices. Instead of asking developers to relearn new tools, we envision ViroReact as the bridge between current development practices and the emerging world of AR. In the short term, we’re focused on making AR exceptionally robust on mobile devices, and we’re also exploring support for platforms like Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro as part of our roadmap.

We’re 100% committed to keeping ViroReact open source.

While we may develop additional tools or products on top of it to help fund on-going development and improvements, the core library will always remain freely available to the community. I’d also like to invite you all to join us in this journey—if you’re interested in helping maintain or improve the library, please reach out. We’d also love to hear about and highlight the amazing projects you’re building with ViroReact.

I’ve been building apps and working in tech since I was 15. My passion for technology, and particularly for augmented reality, has been with me for years. I remember trying out Google Glass back in 2014 and feeling the spark of AR’s potential. Now, with the rapid advancements in AI, it feels like AR is truly having its moment. Over the past couple of years, I’ve had many insightful conversations with Eduardo—the original maintainer of ViroReact—and together we shared a vision for this library to become the best tool for building AR applications using React Native.

I’m incredibly excited about the future of ViroReact under the Morrow umbrella. We’re here to support and enhance this fantastic project while staying true to its open-source roots. Thank you for your passion, your contributions, and for being part of this journey. I can’t wait to see what we’ll achieve together as AR continues to shape the future of modern computing.
