Author: Skarredghost

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!)

The current status of Augmented Reality adult entertainment

Adult entertainment has always been one of the drivers of technological innovation and XR is no exception to this rule. That’s why in this blog I have always kept an eye open to this field. But usually, I have discussed Virtual Reality adult entertainment… but what about Augmented Reality instead?

VEC 2019 review: my experience at the Vive Ecosystem Conference

VEC 2019 review: my experience at the Vive Ecosystem Conference

One week ago, I have attended the Vive Ecosystem Conference in Shenzhen, China.

But […]

Virtual Reality is officially a fad. I am out

Virtual Reality is officially a fad. I am out

I work in virtual reality since 2014, when I have fallen in love with this technology after having tried an Oculus DK2. In these years, I have always been an advocate for it, saying that it will be pervasive for our lives in 5-10 years, and I have fought against all those people saying that […]
