SXSW has been the best event I have participated in this year, and I have already talked about it in various articles (e.g. this post about the event, and this other one with some reviews). Looking at the backlog of my posts to write, I noticed that I had still some reviews from there I […]
I feel better than last week, so I’m back to business with the usual newsletter. But I’ve still to fully recover, so every hug you send me is still highly appreciated! I’m also sending good vibes to my friends in China who are facing lockdowns. I know the situation is not the best now, but I […]
Meta is currently the market leader in VR, and no company does even get close to its sales numbers. The Quest 2 is a great gaming machine offered at a ridiculous price, and it has totally crushed the competition. It is the first headset that has (most probably) crossed the 10M sold units, and alone […]
It’s a typical situation for me: I wake up and reading the VR news, I find that Meta is releasing a new interesting update for the Quest. Wow, a new feature is coming out, starting from today! I can’t wait to try it and review it! Then I turn on the Quest and… nothing has […]
I’ve been sick this weekend. I’m getting better, but I’ll need days to fully recover, I still feel like if I was hit by a train. I’m doing my best to work, and I don’t want you to miss this appointment with my news roundup, so I’ve prepared it the same… I just warn you […]

It’s been the first time I worked on such an ambitious conference, so let me tell you something more about it and about the lessons I’ve learned in […]
Two weeks ago I have been to Laval Virtual, one of the most important European exhibitions about immersive realities. I have already described to you two good experiences I had with XR Hardware (Lenovo AR glasses, and Actronika haptic suit), and today I want to close the topic Laval by telling you about two great […]
Today is a bit of a special day for this newsletter because this article you are reading is the 250th roundup about XR news I’ve written! If you make the calculation, it means that it is almost 5 years that every damn weekend I collect the best news of the week in AR and VR […]
Some months ago, Canon announced the “RF5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye Lens” for EOS Cameras, a lens system to easily shoot high-quality 180 VR videos. At the On|Metaverse Summit here in Italy I have been able to see it in action, so let me tell you something about it! Hands-On Canon RF5.2mm F2.8 L Dual […]
Who else remembers Moon VR Player? It was a video player for virtual reality headsets, able to play both 2D videos, 360 videos, and 360 VR videos which was quite popular back in the Gear VR days. But after a while, it kinda disappeared from my radars, without any explanations. I almost forgot about it, […]
Happy Easter Holidays to whoever celebrates it! Yesterday I have eaten a lot, including a chocolate egg and an Easter cake with tons of pistachio and hazelnut cream. And today I’m going to do the same… the goal is gaining 10 kilos in 2 days haha. VR is cool and all the rest, but Italian […]
