The XR Week Peek (2025.09.30): Meta bets on Horizon Worlds on mobile, Meta opens physical stores, and more!

I’m back in Italy, after a very long and complex trip back from the US (I had a stop of 13 hours in Paris!). Now I have a few weeks when I’ll stay at home in Italy, and can dedicate myself a bit more to my development job. I think it’s going to be also […]

Let me tell you what has been announced, what is good about it, and what could be better. The announcement of an SDK for smartglasses […]

Ray-Ban Meta Display hands-on: a step forward towards AR glasses

Ray-Ban Meta Display hands-on: a step forward towards AR glasses

Today at Meta Connect, Meta announced the Ray-Ban Meta Display glasses, its first smartglasses with a display. And I’ve managed to go hands-on with them on the same day, so I could give you my first impressions very quickly!

My predictions for Meta Connect 2025

As you know, this is my first year attending Meta Connect, and I’m pretty excited about it. And even if I have this new thing for me, I want to carry on my old tradition of playing the guessing game about what to expect at this event tomorrow. So here you are, my predictions about […]

This is another newsletter that I’m going to write literally on the fly, because today I’m traveling to the US to attend Meta Connect. So I guess I’ll write part of it in Turin, and part in Paris, where I’ll have my stop before going to San Francisco. Wish me a safe trip!  (Ah and if […]

I’m back from China, and while I’m still dizzy from the jet lag, I’m preparing my trip to the US for the next week. I guess I’ll spend the next couple of weeks without realizing what time of day it is…  But I know what time is now: it is the time for some amazing XR […]

The past week has been pretty interesting for me, because I’ve been able to try Vivo Vision, the new mixed reality headset announced by Vivo, one of the leading smartphone manufacturers. The result of my hands-on is a very detailed article about the device, which you can find here. I’m very happy to have been […]

Why we don’t have the “killer app” of mixed reality

Why we don’t have the “killer app” of mixed reality

I have always been a fan of mixed reality, and over the years I have always tried to push the boundaries with this technology: in 2019 I launched with my team a mixed reality fitness game before MR was cool, I’ve published many experiments about blending the physical with the virtual, and I have advocated […]

My blog is now 9 years old and I really hope something special happens to me in this 10th year of my career. For now, I can’t wait to publish the interview I have had with Kyle Riesenbeck, but who knows if other surprises are going to happen. Anyway, let’s focus on the XR news […]
