Another week, another roundup of amazing AR/VR news! Let’s see what have been the most interesting things happening in immersive reality… Top news of the week Qualcomm and Niantic bet on the future of augmented reality with AR2 The biggest news of the week took place in the Hawaii islands, where Qualcomm had its Snapdragon Summit event. […]
At the Snapdragon Summit, Qualcomm has just made an announcement that I think will be very important for the future of augmented reality. The company has unveiled the Snapdragon AR2 Gen1 chip, which will power the next generation of slim augmented reality glasses. Unluckily I haven’t been able to go to Hawaii to enjoy the […]
At AWE Europe one of the projects I loved the most has been OpenAR. It is an association that tries to create affordable open-source headsets, which are far from being perfect but could be very important for students and professionals in developing countries to start experimenting with immersive realities. OpenAR Thumb Controller While I was […]
I finally got my Quest Pro last week and this evening I plan to finally turn it on and try to have some fun with it! I guess a review is coming in 2–3 weeks, so be prepared 🙂 As for the Pico 4, I’ll do that either this week or next one, instead. Sorry for […]
Yesterday I discovered that a friend of mine wants to propose as “Vitillo’s law” or “Skarred’s law” the law that every innovative technology we are waiting for is always coming in “5 to 10 years”. I would love for that to become an official Murphy’s law, but I’m sure that even if the XR community […]
One of the most interesting products I have tried at AWE has been SyncReality, a solution to turn every physical space into a mixed reality experience. This is something I thought about also doing myself, so I have been very happy to see that someone was carrying on that vision for real. Let me explain […]
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE! Even if it is not part of the Italian tradition, probably Halloween is the right festivity for me, since I’m a ghost :). And in fact, for me, this one has been a pretty cool week: HTC Vive has selected me as one of the top 100 VR influencers (whatever this word means), […]
I just got back from Lisbon, where I attended AWE Europe. I’m super-tired because of the trip, but especially because we at VRrOOm had to deliver the VR world of Oxymore, a new musical experience we did with Jean-Michel Jarre. It’s been tough work, and yesterday I slept 3 hours because we spent the night […]
This has been the week of the Meta Connect, which brought with it many important announcements. I thought that there could be nothing else to say in this roundup apart from the Connect, while actually, digging into the various XR magazines and social media feed, I have been able to find a lot of interesting […]
Hello everyone! These days I’m literally crunching for my dev job, juggling many projects at the same time. I’m also putting effort into my outreach activity. Among other things, I have written a fantastic post about the VR concerts worth millions of dollars that Pico is doing in China; I have been interviewed in a […]
I wish you are having a great day and a great week! This week I’ve been pretty busy with my dev work, but I also had some great moments: I had the pleasure of attending an XR-related event dedicated to women here in Turin; of being interviewed by the awesome Rene Schulte for his podcast […]
