The XR Week Peek (2021.08.23): Facebook launches Horizon Workrooms, Intel announces its graphics cards, and more!

大家好! These days are pretty hot here, but this doesn’t stop me from enjoying virtual reality. What I’ve not enjoyed is that SideQuest has removed The Unity Cube from its listing, stating that there were too many cubes there. I think that cubes are never enough… cubes are love, cubes are life. Before leaving to the […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.08.16): Facebook releases Passthrough APIs, Quest on the road to 10M units, and more!

Hello everyone! This summer week has been amazing for me and I want to share my happiness with you. It has all been because of these three pieces of news: My blog is now 5 years old! I still can’t believe that I did it for so long… and this is also been possible thanks […]

HoloLens 2 Review: The Best In Class For AR, But…

HoloLens 2 Review: The Best In Class For AR, But…

The HoloLens 2 is considered the best augmented reality headset in the market. It has been launched in 2019, but because of its very high price and the pandemic that prevented me to travel, in these two years, I have never had the opportunity to try it. But now, thanks to VR Expert, a company […]

I’m overly happy to announce to you that today we of New Technology Walkers have launched our VR fitness game HitMotion: Reloaded on Oculus App Lab!

ThirdEye X2 MR: the lightweight MR glasses for the industry

ThirdEye X2 MR: the lightweight MR glasses for the industry

ThirdEye is a headset manufacturer that creates glasses for the industrial segment. Its X2 MR glasses are proving very effective in many industrial fields, but its brand is still not very famous in the XR communities, so I decided to have a talk with Nick Cherukuri, the CEO of ThirdEye, to let you all discover […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.08.02): Facebook creates Metaverse group and prepares to launch its smartglasses, and more!

The metaverse is the buzzword of the moment, so last week I made a stupid meme about it (you can see it on Twitter), and then yesterday I realized it had gone viral. If I had known people could like it, I would have not made it in 5 minutes with Microsoft Word, lol. It […]

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 […]
