AR/VR developer, startupper, zombie killer. Sometimes I pretend I can blog, but actually I've no idea what I'm doing. I tried to change the world with my startup Immotionar, offering super-awesome full body virtual reality, but now the dream is over. But I'm not giving up: I've started an AR/VR agency called New Technology Walkers with which help you in realizing your XR dreams with our consultancies (Contact us if you need a project done!)

The point that Zuck is missing when he says that Quest 3 is better than the Vision Pro

Some days ago, Mark Zuckerberg made a video specifically to say that the Quest 3 is better than the Vision Pro.

What does not convince me of the eye-and-hand interface of the Apple Vision Pro

What does not convince me of the eye-and-hand interface of the Apple Vision Pro

The Apple Vision Pro is the device of the moment: since the preorders have been opened on January, 19th, my social media feed is full of posts that just talk about this device. And this is for a good reason: Apple entering the field is for sure a defining moment for the immersive reality space. […]

This is going to be the week of the Apple Vision Pro, with the first people who preordered it finally receiving the device at home!
