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!)

Hands-on with Cleanbox to sanitize VR headsets

These weeks I have been pretty busy with the delivery of a project, and the delivery has culminated with a demo of the VR solution we have developed. Since the COVID is strong now in Italy, we thought that it could have been a good idea to use Cleanbox to sanitize the headsets that we […]

The XR Week Peek (2020.12.01): Quest side distribution platform coming in Q1 2021, Quest competitor coming, and much more!

I’m super swamped with work, so this week the roundup will be a bit more limited than the usual… not a big problem considering that this week has been quite boring in the XR ecosystem.  Before starting the actual post, let me send my thoughts to two beloved members of our community: The YouTubers Cas and […]

Threedy AI automatically converts 2D photos in 3D assets for AR!

Threedy AI is a startup whose main expertise is the automatic conversion from 2D photos to 3D models. It can automatically fetch the photos of your items from your website, and transform them into 3D models for prices as cheap a $5/model! It is a very innovative company, and I think that it can be […]

Finding Pandora X review: a nice VR interactive theater performance

Two days ago I have had the pleasure of experiencing Finding Pandora X, the creative work that has won the “Best VR Immersive User Experience” at the Venice Film Festival this year. It has been a very interesting experience, but unluckily I haven’t been allowed to shoot photos and videos (exactly like in theater), so […]

How to use Oculus Test Users to log in on multiple Oculus Quests for sideloading without the need of a Facebook account

How to use Oculus Test Users to log in on multiple Oculus Quests for sideloading without the need of a Facebook account

The mandatory Facebook login has created a huge backlash from the VR community, not only because of the possible privacy concerns that may arise but also because it lets Facebook apply more control over how people use the headsets they own.
