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!)

Hands-on: Xvisio’s HoloLens substitutes may be what companies are looking for

Hands-on: Xvisio’s HoloLens substitutes may be what companies are looking for

Last week, I told you about a potential substitute for Microsoft HoloLens developed by the Chinese company Shoujing. This device is very promising, but has not been released yet.

GravityXR’s reverse passthrough put my eyes on a headset

Two days ago, when I visited GravityXR’s offices, I was introduced to one of their chips dedicated to reverse passthrough. Now, on the showfloor of VR AR Expo China, I was able to actually try it and see my eyes installed on an MR headset! It was cool and disturbing at the same time… let […]

May I have just randomly found in China a potential substitute for the HoloLens?

May I have just randomly found in China a potential substitute for the HoloLens?

One of the biggest problems for companies that invested in augmented reality to improve their production processes is that the two leading headsets, HoloLens and Magic Leap, have both been discontinued.

The XR Week Peek (2026.04.05): Valve launches the Steam Controller, the Samsung glasses have been leaked, and more!

May the Force be with you! Today is an exciting day for the XR community because it’s the day when the first Steam Hardware piece is being launched. It’s good to have such excitement because it’s not a positive period overall for immersive technology, with negative news coming every week. And this week, unfortunately, has […]
