A React Native showcase app was built for Meta Quest running Horizon OS to demonstrate that the 'learn once, write anywhere' principle extends to VR development. The app features camera integration, audio playback, and link sharing using popular libraries like React Native Vision Camera, Track Player, and SVG. Since Horizon OS is built on Android Open Source Project, the setup is familiar to Android developers with only minor VR-specific adjustments needed. Key differences from mobile include controller/hand-tracking input, 3D spatial environments, and lack of Google Play Services. The source code is available on GitHub.
