The book is written in plain English and easy to follow. A fantastic introduction to React VR!

Gary Meade May 15, 2018

The author gives a very good up-to-date view of the VR industry and good guidelines to a new VR developer. There are small numbers who really understand VR, so insight into the VR world is very limited. Web based VR is only a sliver of the industry pie, but will prove to be a very good pathway for the right project.

At last, a tech-book written with verve and flair!!! John Gwinner's considerable experience with online communications shines through as he avoids geek-speak and keeps explanations well-grounded for average readers. The book takes nothing for granted and starts off with a clear and concise explanation of virtual reality today, then unlocks the secrets to creating your own VR site and more. Creators will be itching to get started once they see this reader-friendly information, laid out with pictures and explanations. The equipment needed is fairly simple and low-cost as well. The chapters are logical, clear, never staid or boring--Gwinner has a writing voice and style all his own. If you have an interest in VR, or know someone who does, this book is the real deal.

I am a back-end Javascript developer. I was not familiar with front-end or VR at all. I found this book a great primer for getting started in VR coding. The author makes it easy to understand and easy to build your first app.
