The XR Week Peek (2021.07.26): Facebook aims at the Metaverse, Quest 2 goes MR, and more!

I’m incredibly happy about having been hosted by Sebastian Ang (MRTV), one of my favorite VR content creators, in his weekly podcast on Youtube! We spoke about AR and VR for 2 hours and we were having so much fun that we could have gone on for other 2 hours without problems! If you want […]

The XR Week Peek: Facebook abandons BCIs, VR grows fast, and much more!

It’s a nice summer day here in Italy, and I hope things for all of you are going well. I feel a bit weird because I’ve discovered yesterday that I’m the subject of nightmares for Celine Tricart, a well-renowned VR creator. I mean, I’m a ghost, so probably I should be fine with the idea […]

Can you make a living out of AR and VR?

Can you make a living out of AR and VR?

Today I want to answer a question that from time to time people ask me: is it possible to make a living out of AR and VR? Can you just follow your passion, and pay the bills by creating XR-related content? Well, let me tell you my thoughts about this. The short answer is yes […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.07.13): Lynx now aims at the consumer market, App Lab to enable DLCs, and more!

Sorry if this newsletter is one day late. Probably I should tell you that I was busy with VR projects, but the truth is that I have been celebrating a lot lately, especially the recent victory of Italy in the Euro 2020 soccer championship. I have watched the final match with friends and we had […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.07.05): Facebook to have $6B of losses for the VR business, investments in XR are on the rise, and more!

It’s summertime, and as usual, during this part of the year, people think about going to the seaside more than about VR, and so the news to talk about are always fewer. So expect this and the following weeks to be a bit calmer for the XR ecosystem. I have some news to share about me […]

How HitMotion:Reloaded transitioned from an AR to a VR game

How HitMotion:Reloaded transitioned from an AR to a VR game

Two weeks ago, we of New Technology Walkers have launched HitMotion: Reloaded on SideQuest. This game has had a very long and interesting story (maybe one day I’ll write a long post about it), and it has lived various transitions, with the last one being from a passthrough AR game to a standard VR game. […]

It’s that time of the week where you can read about the most important news of the past week in AR and VR again! Are you ready? Before starting, my friends at FXG and at Leenzee Games are promoting the Chinese mystery VR game A.D. 2047 and are offering to my readers an exclusive giveaway of […]

NVIDIA’s Dave Weinstein: AI integration will be fundamental for the future of XR

NVIDIA’s Dave Weinstein: AI integration will be fundamental for the future of XR

I had the great pleasure of talking with Dave Weinstein, Director of XR at NVIDIA, about the amazing job that NVIDIA is doing in the XR field. NVIDIA is investing a lot of resources for immersive realities, and its commitment to XR is visible in its products like Omniverse and the CloudXR SDK. I wanted […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.06.21): Facebook experiments with VR ads, PSVR 2 to come at the end of 2022, and more!

Happy VR Summer! This is the first day of this sunny season (if you live in my same hemisphere of course), and I hope that you won’t have any Summertime Sadness like Lana Del Rey, but you all will enjoy the sun, have some relax, and forget for a moment all the hard times we […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.06.14): Facebook buys BigBox VR and plans to sell 18-20M Quests in 2022, and much more!

I’m very tired because yesterday I was ironing out bugs on HitMotion: Reloaded together with the game designer Max until 3.40 in the morning, but in the end, the first alpha demo is over and it will launch as promised on June, 16th! That day be sure to download it from SideQuest and please also […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.06.07): Facebook working on Quest 2 Pro, Nolo and Arpara announce new VR headsets, and more!

This week has not been very important for AR and VR: no major event has happened. BUT today is the day of the WWDC, and who knows if Apple will tease something about AR glasses. I personally don’t expect a launch or a full reveal, but maybe they could at least hint something. The event […]
