A few days ago, the European Parliament has passed the law of the Digital Markets Act, which is meant to regulate the power of the American tech giants. It can be a game-changer for the whole digital world, so I thought it was worth sharing my thoughts about what it could mean for XR. Digital […]
The hype for the Apple visor is very high, and everyone is waiting for it as a kid waits for Christmas. Poised to arrive around January 2023, it is considered by many the savior of XR, the hardware that will show the real possibilities of immersive realities and make finally VR mainstream. I was thinking […]
Today is the 4th of July, an important day for all my friends from the US! I wish all my American friends to celebrate well. I want to dedicate this newsletter article to my friend Mathew Olson, who at The Information kickstarted the “Reality Check”, a newsletter about XR which I received 3–4 times a week […]
A few weeks ago I had the enormous pleasure of speaking with Mary Matheson, an award-winning director of traditional and VR movies, and talk with her for around half an hour all about storytelling in VR. She told me why she thinks that 360 movies are still relevant, what are the differences between shooting a […]
Today I publish a review about the magnetic lenses for Meta Quest 2 sold by VR Rock, a Chinese company selling accessories for VR headsets. Since I have no need for prescriptions, I have tested the anti blue light lenses with no prescription. Unboxing This has been one of my easiest unboxings ever: inside the […]

It seems that in many countries of the world this weekend was Father’s Day… so my best greetings to all of you that are fathers! It’s curious that actually in Italy we celebrate this in March… but who cares, whenever is the day, it’s always good to celebrate our daddies 🙂 I’ll be very upfront with you: […]
At AWE I had the opportunity to finally go hands-on with a bunch of 3D displays that don’t require you to wear any kind of glasses. It was a lot of time that I wanted to try them (especially The Looking Glass), so I was happy of having had the opportunity to do it! And […]
Since the battery of my previous laptop was growing in size transforming it into a timebomb, I got a new one (also thanks to my friends at Ristband!). It has not cutting-edge specs, but it features an RTX2080 Super which is still able to do a great job with most XR applications (unless you want […]
I’m finally back in Turin! I miss a bit the joys of traveling and especially all the amazing people I met, but I have a lot of cool things I have to work on here, so I’m glad I have again the time to do them! And regarding this… would you be interested in working […]
