The XR Week Peek (2021.04.26): Magic Leap 2 coming in 2022, Quest gets Air Link and new Avatars, and more!

This week has mostly been in the sign of Oculus, with many news and updates from the brand controlled by Facebook. As always, they’re doing a great job not only with the product but also with the communication strategy. Before leaving you to the best news of the week, I would like to highlight two notable […]

It’s a crazy busy period for me and I really need a good sleep. BTW, I’ve managed to found some time here and there to write this newsletter, because I’m happy to inform you of the community, especially my Patrons that always cheer for me (have you considered supporting me on Patreon as well?). I’m […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.04.12): HTC and Pico are ready to launch new VR headsets, and more!

This week has been pretty crazy: It all started with Facebook approving my silly The Unity Cube application (an application with just a cube) on App Lab. I’ve written a post to spread the news, highlighting the lessons learned from this app that I made to test the App Lab process and promote freedom for […]

I hope yesterday you had a Happy Easter or a peaceful 清明节. Today in Italy it should be the day when we go pic-nicking… but given the fact that we are in lockdown, I’ll just eat a lot at home 🙂 While I send you a lot of good vibes, let’s see together what have been the […]

Christopher Lafayette: Let’s build together an inclusive XR community

I’ve had the enormous pleasure of speaking with Christopher Lafayette, one of the most esteemed members of our XR community. He’s mostly active on Linkedin and has always worked in VR considering not the technology, but the human and all the collectivity at the center of his vision. I wanted to speak with him about […]

A friendly chat on the Open AR Cloud and its advantages

A friendly chat on the Open AR Cloud and its advantages

In December 2020, I had a nice chat about the Open AR Cloud with two amazing professionals that are working with it. Unluckily, that was a very complicated period for me (e.g. I was working to deliver the WTTOS concert with Jean-Michel Jarre) and I forgot about publishing it. Thanks to an e-mail from Suzan […]

I’m writing this roundup of news with a huge headache and a real will to sleep, so forgive me if there are some errors. It’s because tomorrow the SXSW 2021 starts and together with VRrOOm we have created the virtual spaces for it on VRChat! We feel honored, amazed, but also… a bit tired (like […]
