Short hands-on at SXSW: Vive XR Elite, HYPERVSN… the CIA… and more!

Short hands-on at SXSW: Vive XR Elite, HYPERVSN… the CIA… and more!

Today I want to tell you about some very short hands-on sessions I had during my attendance at the SXSW festival. They were all very interesting experiences, but given the very short time I had with these devices, what I’m going to write can’t be considered a real review, but more some kind of first […]

I’m back in Italy! My time at SXSW has been great, but now it’s time to be back to the usual routine. I still feel a lot tired because of the jet lag and the little sleep I had in Austin, but this is pretty normal, and in one week or such this feeling should […]

Hello everyone from Austin, Texas, where I am attending the SXSW! I’m having fun, listening to interesting talks, meeting new people… basically everything I always do at these events! I’ve very limited time, but luckily this week has not been very relevant for the ecosystem, so I’m managing to write this newsletter anyway 🙂 Top news […]

The XR Week Peek (2023.03.07): Meta roadmap unveiled, Xiaomi shows its AR glasses, and more!

This week is going to be great because I’m going to attend the SXSW (I will write a dedicated post about it). Before traveling, I’m trying to finish a few tasks for my job and I was hoping that this week there wasn’t much to write in this roundup so that I could write this […]

Today very weirdly I saw some snow outside of my window. The weather is getting crazy… a bit like me. I really hope you are having a great time, maybe with a newly bought PSVR 2 headset. I’m preparing for my next adventure… can you guess where will it be? Top news of the week PlayStation […]

I’ve almost fully recovered from my little flu so I can be productive again. It’s a weird period, with ups and downs, but I try to focus on the up things. Like a few days ago I had a Linkedin post with 1.5M+ views… an impressive number I had never reached before. It was of […]

I’m back in Italy! Just the time to eat some homemade pasta and I got a cold, which mixed with the jet lag of the trip from China, means that I’m truly having some great days 😐 But nothing can stop me from writing the roundup of the best AR/VR news of the week for you, […]

Why you should use now generative AI in your metaverse company. Or maybe not

Why you should use now generative AI in your metaverse company. Or maybe not

We are living the generative AI hype, with everyone getting crazy about ChatGPT. And every day I read articles about how AI can disrupt the metaverse, how ChatGPT and metaverse are the perfect match, and especially about how the fact that if your XR company doesn’t have an AI strategy, it is already old and […]

Today is my last day in China. These days have been hectic: I have met very interesting people (you will read about that in some upcoming articles), and I’m super happy about it.

Quick testing sessions of Nreal Air, LAWK, iQiYi Mix, and more!

Yesterday I was visiting the amazing people of VRTUOLUO, which is one of the leading XR publications in China, and they were so kind to let me enter their lab, where they have all the headsets they have reviewed these years. It was for me the occasion of seeing and trying briefly some devices that […]

The XR Week Peek (2023.01.31): New rumors on Apple headset, Quest Pro price drops, and more!

I’ve read a lot of articles and XR news this week, but actually, at the end of the day, nothing relevant has happened, except for the usual rumor about Apple… so you can close this roundup now… no ok, I’m kidding! It’s not been the most exciting week ever for XR, but there is still […]
