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!)

That’s why when I had the opportunity to interview Kevin Joyce from the company, I immediately exploited it to ask […]

Tilt-Five hands-on: very interesting AR glasses for board games

During my stay there, I had the incredible occasion of meeting Jeri Ellsworth at her office and try hands-on the Tilt-Five glasses. Here you are my experience with them! Tilt […]

My predictions for augmented reality in 2022

After having written my predictions for virtual reality for this year, it’s time for me to dig into what is happening in the next months in augmented reality.

What are the nits of an AR/VR display (explained with memes and potatoes)

What are the nits of an AR/VR display (explained with memes and potatoes)

Today I wanted to learn something new. It’s years that I read about the “nits” of AR displays and why they should be meaningful for outdoor AR, but I never truly understood what they meant. I got they were a measure of brightness, but I couldn’t grasp the exact meaning. I was used to saying […]

My predictions for virtual reality in 2022

As always in January I like to play the speculation game and make my personal predictions for augmented and virtual reality for the new year (2022, in this case). The difference between the two is becoming always more blurred, but for this year I prefer keeping them separate because they still have different markets. I […]
