We all dream of the Metaverse, a fantastic online virtual world where we can all hang out with other people and do whatever we want. Something similar to what we have seen in the movie Ready Player One, or even better. But nowadays, the situation is very different: we have some rough social VR experiences, […]

For the next two days, I will feature on this blog a long interview I made with Suzanne Borders, the CEO of BadVR. She’s one of the best VR people that I follow on Twitter, because she does not only work on very interesting projects mixing dataviz and XR, but she also has a great […]
Virtuleap is for sure one of the most promising startups I have talked with in this 2019.

Do you have a passion for ancient history and virtual reality? Then Rome Reborn is for sure a project you should look into.
I had the great opportunity to interview Tomáš Mariančík, better known in the VR communities as Frooxius. He has always been a great innovator and I admire his work since the good old Oculus DK 2 times, when he published “Sightline: The Chair”. Now he is continuing this innovation work by building a completely open […]
