Introducing Reactylon’s “Showcase” Section: A New Spotlight on Practical 3D & WebXR Integrations
In the rapidly evolving world of web development, creating compelling 3D and immersive experiences has become more accessible than ever. Recently, I had the pleasure of introducing Reactylon—an innovative open-source framework designed to combine the power of React with Babylon.js to craft rich, interactive 3D and WebXR applications. Today, I am excited to unveil a significant new feature: the dedicated “Showcase” section, aimed at highlighting real-world applications and inspiring developers through practical use cases.
Exploring the Reactylon “Showcase”
The Reactylon documentation has traditionally been filled with minimal, isolated examples to demonstrate core concepts. While valuable, these examples can sometimes feel detached from actual development scenarios. To bridge this gap, the new “Showcase” section provides a curated collection of real-world projects, integrations, and use cases. Whether you’re building a WebXR environment, a complex interactive scene, or a seamless VR experience, the Showcase serves as a valuable resource to learn from practical implementations.
You can explore the Showcase directly here: Reactylon Showcase. The section is a work in progress, and new examples will be added regularly, offering ongoing inspiration and guidance for developers at all levels.
What is Reactylon?
For those new to Reactylon, it is a versatile, open-source framework that merges the declarative power of React with the capabilities of Babylon.js, a popular JavaScript 3D engine. Reactylon simplifies the creation of immersive 3D and WebXR experiences by offering:
- An intuitive JSX-based API for declarative scene construction
- Automatic scene graph management, object creation, parenting, and disposal
- Compatibility across multiple platforms: web browsers, mobile devices, VR, AR, and mixed reality headsets
Why Choose Reactylon?
Reactylon is built to provide a familiar and efficient developer experience, especially for those already accustomed to React. Its features include:
- Built-in WebXR support for immersive VR and AR experiences
- Progressive Web App (PWA) compatibility and native device support via Babylon Native and React Native
- Simplified loading of models, physics integrations (such as Havok), audio controls, animations, and GUI overlays—all declarative and easy to manage
- Access to over 100 interactive in-browser code examples to facilitate learning and experimentation
