Install a React VR App in 2 Minutes

In this blog I’m going to demo installing a React Virtual Reality App in just a few simple steps. The app was recently debuted at a ReactJS Dallas Meetup by Tony Spiro, co-founder of Cosmic JS. The React VR app is a portrait gallery application that has various realms and portraits powered by the Cosmic JS API.
