React VR feat React InstantSearch by Algolia

This experimentation had search to a React VR application using React InstantSearch by Algolia and Annyang for the speech-to-text part.

Context

The goal is to use Algolia through React InstantSearch to bring search to a React VR app. The user will search into the app by speaking.

Let's see how we can turn the Algolia tourism demo into a VR experience.

Start the demo

yarn
yarn start

Then go to http://localhost:8081/vr

Playing with the demo

This demo uses speech-to-text to perform the search. Try those commands:

• I want to go to Rome

or maybe Paris, Sydney or San Francisco?

• We are six guests

or maybe two, three or six?

• For a price between 100 and 200
