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 XR Week Peek (2023.03.07): Meta roadmap unveiled, Xiaomi shows its AR glasses, and more!

This week is going to be great because I’m going to attend the SXSW (I will write a dedicated post about it). Before traveling, I’m trying to finish a few tasks for my job and I was hoping that this week there wasn’t much to write in this roundup so that I could write this […]

Quest has sold 20M units, so why isn’t VR mainstream yet?

Quest has sold 20M units, so why isn’t VR mainstream yet?

Yesterday, a report by Alex Heath on The Verge reported that Quest has sold around 20M units. Since this is well beyond the 10M threshold we were all waiting for, does this mean that VR is getting mainstream? Well, things are not that straightforward in my opinion… The magic 10M threshold Speaking at Oculus Connect […]

Today very weirdly I saw some snow outside of my window. The weather is getting crazy… a bit like me. I really hope you are having a great time, maybe with a newly bought PSVR 2 headset. I’m preparing for my next adventure… can you guess where will it be? Top news of the week PlayStation […]

VRTUOLUO talks about its FBEC event and the VR ecosystem in China

VRTUOLUO is one of the leading VR publications in China: let’s say it’s a bit like the Chinese version of Upload VR. When I was in Shenzhen, everyone was talking about them to me, and then I had also the pleasure to meet them and have a coffee with them (they’re very nice people!). I […]

Discover Latin America’s XR ecosystem with Oscar Cartagena

In my career as an XR professional, I’ve got to know people from all over the world, especially thanks to this blog, social media, and the international events I attended.

The XR Week Peek (2023.02.20): Bigscreen launches Beyond headset, PSVR 2 gets its first reviews, and more!

I’ve almost fully recovered from my little flu so I can be productive again. It’s a weird period, with ups and downs, but I try to focus on the up things. Like a few days ago I had a Linkedin post with 1.5M+ views… an impressive number I had never reached before. It was of […]

14 lessons that may improve your career as a VR professional

It’s one of these days where I’m thinking about myself and my career in XR over the years. I don’t define myself as “successful” by any means, but still, after more than 8 years in this field, I’ve gathered some experience in the various jobs I’ve done in this ecosystem, and I had my share […]

Why you should use now generative AI in your metaverse company. Or maybe not

Why you should use now generative AI in your metaverse company. Or maybe not

We are living the generative AI hype, with everyone getting crazy about ChatGPT. And every day I read articles about how AI can disrupt the metaverse, how ChatGPT and metaverse are the perfect match, and especially about how the fact that if your XR company doesn’t have an AI strategy, it is already old and […]

Today is my last day in China. These days have been hectic: I have met very interesting people (you will read about that in some upcoming articles), and I’m super happy about it.
