I have finally eaten some good pasta here in Italy, but now I’m ready to travel again to London and Prague. I’ve been traveling a bit too much recently… I feel like a rockstar doing a world tour! It’s cool because I’ve been able to connect with amazing people from many countries, but at the […]
Today I host another amazing guest article by Rob Cole, the VR ergonomics expert who has ideated the XR Caliper (later XR Modular) controller and has reviewed headsets like the Pimax Crystal already on this blog. Today Rob will tell us about his experience at the Pimax Global Roadshow episode that happened in London a […]
In the last month, I’ve been a mentor/judge at two XR hackathons: the XR Game Jam in Helsinki and the XRCC in Berlin. It’s been a very pleasant experience and I’ve learned a thing or two about how it is being a mentor during this kind of event, so as usual, I want to share […]
Last week I was in Berlin to attend the XRCC glamhathon (a very glam hackathon) as a mentor and in the mentors’ team there were other very talented XR professionals. One of them was Daniel Sproll, the CEO of Realities.io, the game studio behind Puzzling Places, one of the most successful indie VR games out […]
I’m back in Italy after having been a mentor at the XRCC in Berlin! My experience there has been great… maybe I’ll write something about it soon. But there are a lot of pieces of interesting XR news to talk about… so why should I speak about me now? 😀 Top news of the week The UploadVR […]
At AWE I have been able to try the demo of Doublepoint WowMouse, an application for your smartwatch that transforms it into a 3D mouse for XR. It has been one of my highlights for the event, so you should absolutely read about it. Doublepoint I have known Doublepoint since when it was called Port6 […]
AWE has come to an end. I’m spending my last night in LA and tomorrow (which will be “today” when the newsletter is published) I’m going to fly to Berlin to be a mentor at the XRCC hackathon. My experience at AWE has been great: I reached the goals I had set for myself before […]
One of my highlights of AWE has been for sure Ultraleap’s booth. Not only because they are very nice people it’s always great to hang out with, but because their use of “event cameras” for tracking hand movements completely surprised me.

AWE US has come to an end. It’s been very tiresome, but in the end, I loved to go there. It has been a great occasion to reconnect with many friends, meet new people, and do useful business meetings. I also met Palmer Luckey for the first time there! I am super tired, but I’m […]
These days at AWE are being intense… in a good way. Today I have selected two cool things to talk about with you: the new version of the haptic gloves HaptX, and the new “Teleport” service by Varjo. Then I am reporting you the (in)famous announcement by Palmer Luckey about him working on a new […]
The 1st day of AWE has just ended and I’m back at my apartment very tired but also very happy. It’s been a great day: I’ve tried many amazing products, I’ve met a lot of good friends, and I’ve got to know new interesting people. It’s the magic of AWE: every single day is so […]
