Start building
AR with a prompt

Everything you need to generate native AR features for React Native
— from first prompt to working app on your iPhone.

⌘K
// Type in VS Code sidebar

prompt = "Add AR object detection to my app.

When the camera detects an object,

show a label with the object name."

// Cognivision generates:

import ARKit

import Vision

class ARViewController: UIViewController {

let arSession = ARSession()

// ← full bridge generated

}

Install the Extension

STEP 1

Cognivision is a VS Code extension that generates complete AR features for React Native — including the native ARKit bridge handled automatically. What took months now takes minutes.

Search for Cognivision in the VS Code Extensions marketplace:

1
Open the Extensions panel in VS Code
2
Search for Cognivision
3
Click Install

Authentication

STEP 2

Click the Cognivision icon in the VS Code sidebar and sign in with your account.

Open Project

STEP 3

Open any React Native project in VS Code. Cognivision automatically detects:

✓
Project structure
✓
Dependencies
✓
Platform (iOS)

No configuration required.

First Prompt

STEP 4

Open the Cognivision chat panel in the VS Code sidebar and type your feature in plain English:

prompt
"Add AR object detection to my app. When the camera detects an object, show a label with the object name."

Build & Run

STEP 5
1
Review the generated files in the Cognivision diff view
2
Click Accept to write files to your project
3
Run npx react-native run-ios in your terminal

You should see working AR with object detection.

Iterate

STEP 6

Keep building on top of your existing feature — just write more prompts:

prompt
"Now add distance measurement between detected objects"
prompt
"Add a floating text label showing the distance"

💡Cognivision tracks your AR session state between prompts — you can safely layer new features without breaking existing ones.
