Needs advice

A-Frame

React VR

and

three.js

I am about to create a React application that should show a 3-dimensional space where you can click and move.

The goal is to make it accessible in the long run for VR. Important here is that it needs to be compatible with as many browsers as possible.

I am wondering which would be a reasonable way to build this? A-Frame seems very popular but does not seem to be a good choice together with React. So the question is whether to go with plain three.js or to use one of the three.js-based Frameworks, e.g., React VR or react-three-fibre?

I am new to VR. I am in the middle of an investigation and would appreciate the expertise of people who already gained experience in this field. I am happy to answer questions in detail if they are any. Thank you in advance.

React 360

It is a framework for the creation of interactive 360 experiences that run in your web browser. It pairs modern APIs like WebGL and WebVR with the declarative power of React, producing applications that can be consumed through a variety of devices. Leveraging web technologies and the existing React ecosystem, React 360 aims to simplify the construction of cross-platform 360 experiences.

jQuery

jQuery is a cross-platform JavaScript library designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML.

React

Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.

AngularJS

AngularJS lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It lets you use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly. It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding.
