Two days ago I wrote my fancy predictions about augmented reality for this new year, so today I guess it’s the turn of its cousin virtual reality. AR is far behind VR, so there was less news to talk about: regarding VR, instead, in 2017 we have seen a bazillion of interesting (and sometimes) unexpected […]
Hello everyone and happy new year! I really hope that this 2018 will be awesome for you all. Like every new year, this is the time when we make two things: New Year’s resolution, when we promise ourselves that we’ll become thinner, smarter, harder workers… and then, in the end, we continue being the same […]
Today I want to take part in one of the biggest debates inside the virtual reality ecosystem by trying to give my opinion on the question “Are 360 videos a form of virtual reality?”. This is a question that gets asked a bazillion times in VR communities and there are actually people ready to kill […]
If you bought a Rift the first moments it came out as me (and so you paid it a lot of money as I did), surely you’ve tried a short animation movie called “Invasion!” where a white smart rabbit was able to push back some stupid aliens that wanted to invade the Earth. That cartoon […]
UPDATE 30/04/2018: Before reading this article, you should know that VRTK is actually alive again! Read this article of mine where I announce version 4 of VRTK and how it has been possible. Exactly 2 weeks ago, I and other VR innovators have been shocked by the announcement of the VRTK shut down that will […]
We all know that standalone is the latest trend of virtual reality headsets because all-in-one HMDs are more comfortable and work out of the box. That’s why Vive has recently announced an interesting 6 DOF device called Vive Focus, while Oculus has two products in line for launch: the cheap Oculus Go and the premium […]
It has come that time of the year… the one when I’m going to celebrate Christmas by eating a lot of foods, having a lot of toasts and buying a lot of gifts (ah, if you don’t know what gifts to buy, check out my guide on AR/VR gifts!). Then will come the New Year’s […]
You all surely know that two days ago Magic Leap has surprised everyone announcing that in 2018 it will release its first (dev-kit) device, the Magic Leap One, and showcasing on its website some images of the upcoming device. I’m saying that you surely know because the web has been literally flooded by comments and […]
Six months ago I made a prediction about when Oculus CV2 and Vive 2 could come out: I said that in my opinion, the end of 2017 would have been a good timeframe. As you may have noticed, I’ve been proven wrong… unless Oculus and HTC decide to release a new model in the next […]
Today I host on this platform a guest post: Jo-Ann from LaptopNinja (a tech news and product comparison network of sites) proposed me to write a post about VR gaming and I said myself “Why not? If I can write on this blog, anyone can do it! Surely they can’t do a worse job than […]
I’ve been able to test the 3dRudder device, a gaming controller that you can use inside virtual reality games and that should allow you to move inside a virtual environment in a natural way using only your feet so that you are hands are free to do whatever you want. It seems a very interesting […]
