Two days ago, I had a great day talking at AWE2020 about Brain Computer Interfaces in Virtual Reality. I chose this topic because I love Brain Computer Interfaces, I think they are the next generation of human interaction with technology, after the big immersive revolution.

When Magic Leap announced its enterprise package with a rent of 4 Magic Leap One devices plus a subscription to Spatial for 45 days at $5000, I commented on Twitter with a sarcastic “Thank you, but no thank you”.

These days, I’m playing a lot of hours a day to write a review of Half-Life: Alyx (here you can read my first impressions, in the meanwhile). Inspired by the work of TESTED, I’ve decided to do an experiment, and play Alyx with all the headsets that I’ve taken home from the office, asking feedback […]
