See you at WCVRI and View Conference!
It’s time for me to head to new adventures! In this month, I will participate both at the WCVRI in Nanchang and the View Conference in Turin! Are you going to meet me there?
WCVRI
The World Conference on VR Industry (世界VR产业大会) is one enormous VR exhibition held in Nanchang, China. It was organized for the first time in 2018, and since it has been a huge success (lots of people attended it), the local government decided to replicate the event also this year.
Last year I couldn’t attend it, and so I missed the big wave of people, I missed Mister President on the stage launching the 6DOF Controllers for the Vive Focus, and I missed the city of Nanchang that was completely filled with writings about VR everywhere.
This year, I didn’t want to miss this big event, so I contacted the organizers to take part in this manifestation. I tried to be a speaker, but the people there preferred other professionals that were better inserted in the Chinese VR ecosystem :(. Anyway, for a lost opportunity, a new opportunity came to light, and we of New Technology Walkers were given a booth to showcase our upcoming fitness MR game HitMotion: Reloaded! All for free, because the organizers thought we were worth participating in the event :O.
Yes, you’ve read it right: I will be in this big event with my buddy Max, making tons of Chinese people try our game! And we will have a big booth next to famous companies like VeeR, Insta360
Maybe I will also have a short speech in the exhibition area on the morning of the 20th, but I’m still discussing it with the team of the event, so I’m not sure yet. But I hope so.
If you will be in Nanchang in the days of the event (October, 19th-21st), make sure to come to my booth and say hello! I will be in the Hall A4-18 of the Greenland Expo Center in Nanchang. Here you are a render of the location I will be in, so you will be able to find it!
Of course, I will also write here and on my social media channels about my experience there… if I will come out alive from it 😀 So get ready to discover this Chinese event with me

View Conference
I love going to China, but I love more my Italy. In my city, Turin, there is every year a cool event about 3D and CGI called “View Conference”, where there are speakers of a very high level. Last year I went there and interviewed John Gaeta (the inventor of The Matrix’s bullet-time, now at Magic Leap) and talked with amazing people like Eloi Champagne and Donald Greenberg. This year, there will be other high-profile speakers like CH Kim, the CEO of PUBG.
And, well, among these super-high-profile people,
We will do our best to make this presentation great, and I’m sure you will find some interesting cues there. I will also take my Focus+ with me and make some people try some XR experiences as well. I want to make people have fun with VR, and Simone is all-in with me about this!
View Conference will take place from October 20th to October, 25th in Turin, Italy. Our Masterclass will take place on the last day (October, 25th) from 9.00 to
Apart from my speech, the View Conference is very very interesting on its own, so be sure to check it out at this link: https://www.viewconference.it
I really hope that we are going to meet
