Compare and contrast: https://aframe.io/

A-frame has got a certain amount of traction, it's component based and declarative. It feels like an extensible "VR HTML" (or "VR Web components"). React is similarly component based - but one step removed from the markup.

Hi! I work on A-Frame. The biggest difference for now is that A-Frame is ECS-based (entity-component-system) which promotes composability versus inheritance, similar to the way Unity is set up. A bit confusing since the meaning of component in "ECS" vs. component in "Web Component" or "React Component" are fairly opposite.

A-Frame works with React as well, https://github.com/ngokevin/aframe-react ... but I hope that React VR will attract more web developers to the WebVR community! Good to have more friends in the framework space.
