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!)

My hands-on sessions at MatchXR: Obers’s cheap VR treadmill, NOKIA audio innovations, and more!

It is my third year here, and as usual, I want to highlight for you a few things that I tried in the expo area. [Disclaimer: I’ve been supported by some people in the Finnish XR ecosystem on this […]

Rokid launches stylish glasses in collaboration with Bolon (but only in China for now)

Rokid X Bolon Rokid is one of the leading manufacturers of AR glasses and smart glasses. […]

The XR Week Peek (2025.11.17): Valve launches Steam Frame, Samsung to train 20,000 employees with Galaxy XR, and more!

I’ve landed in Helsinki to attend MatchXR and Slush. I’m a bit disappointed that there is no snow, but I hope that some will fall in the next days! This is going to be a crazy, busy week for me between the events, the blog articles, and the remote work I have to do, so […]

Steam Frame may be great, but it may not be a game changer for XR

Steam Frame may be great, but it may not be a game changer for XR

Today, Valve has finally announced the Steam Frame, its hybrid standalone/PCVR headset. It seems like a great device, but I’m honestly a bit disappointed because I don’t think it will be disruptive to our ecosystem. Let me explain why. Steam Frame In case you missed the news, I’ll briefly summarize: Valve has announced its new […]

The XR Week Peek (2025.11.10): Some real numbers on the Quest Store, people are hyping the 12th of November, and more!

Last week, my time at the Next Reality festival in Hamburg was very nice, and I even won an award there! It’s always great to see some recognition for the hard work of all these years. Now I’m back in Italy, back to work, and back to pasta, but ready for the next adventure next […]

The XR Week Peek (2025.11.03): Google partners with Magic Leap, Meta had an internal restructuring, and more!

The past week has not been the most exciting one in the XR space. After both Apple and Google fired their shots in the previous two weeks, nothing incredibly relevant happened. But these are pretty interesting times for me, at least: I shipped my project (fingers crossed), I’m traveling to Hamburg to speak at the […]

The new M5 Vision Pro is boring, but it may be the right move for Apple

The new M5 Vision Pro is boring, but it may be the right move for Apple

Today, Apple has announced the launch of the new Vision Pro… which is basically the same as the old one. It’s a pretty disappointing move for us all, but I think that, at the end of the day, it may be a good move for Apple. Let’s see why. The new old Apple Vision Pro […]
