This week, I had my Meta Connect experience, and I have to say it was great. There were many amazing XR people, I tried some cool demos, I ate a lot of free food… I really had a good time there. Now that the event is over, I’m still in the US, and I’m writing […]

I’m super excited to say, for the first time in my life, “See you at Meta Connect!”.
