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.

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 […]

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 […]

My last demo with Mojo Vision AR contact lenses

My last demo with Mojo Vision AR contact lenses

This year has begun with a piece of very sad technical news: Mojo Vision, the startup that was working on smart contact lenses, has decided to pivot to manufacturing microLED displays. The reason is that they haven’t been able to find the funding necessary to keep developing such a futuristic project, and had to resort […]
