The XR Week Peek (2021.09.13): Ray-Ban Stories get launched, Lynx R1 to come for $499, and more!

Another Monday, another newsletter! With the VRrOOm team, we have just finished working on the Venice VR Expanded VRChat worlds with last Saturday’s closing ceremony and party that was a blast (you can watch the full recording here if you are interested). The worlds will still be live until the 19th, if you want to […]

Goliath Review: a deep experience about psychosis

Goliath Review: a deep experience about psychosis

At the latest Venice VR Expanded, one of the experiences all the magazines are talking about is Goliath by ANAGRAM, which is narrated by the beautiful voice of Tilda Swinton. ANAGRAM is the studio behind one of my favorite VR experiences, that is The Collider, so I really wanted to try its new creation, and […]

Oculus Quest 2 Free Silicone Cover Review

Oculus Quest 2 Free Silicone Cover Review

Yesterday I have finally received at home the free Silicone Cover that we owners of an Oculus Quest 2 are entitled to receive because of the skin irritation that the Quest 2 gasket was giving to a limited number of people. And as with everything that happens to me, I thought it could have been […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.09.06): A week full of VR events, Chinese headsets are on the rise, and more!

This week came with two great pieces of news for me. The first one is that the bond between me and VRrOOm has become a bit more official, and we’ll keep innovating the virtual events sector together for a while. The second one is that we of New Technology Walkers have just launched our fitness […]

How to record videos of your Oculus Quest passthrough AR app

How to record videos of your Oculus Quest passthrough AR app

Recently Facebook has released experimental passthrough APIs for Oculus Quest 2, letting developers create augmented reality apps for this virtual reality headset. Many developers have started creating experiences of this kind, and of course, they want to share videos about them on social media, but Facebook blocked some months ago all ways of recording passthrough […]

My experience as a VR professional at Gamescom and Devcom 2021

My experience as a VR professional at Gamescom and Devcom 2021

As I told you at the beginning of my latest news roundup, I have attended both the Devcom and the Gamescom together with my biz partner Max: we were at Devcom to promote our game HitMotion: Reloaded, and at Gamescom as members of the press to discover the latest announcements about VR and try interesting […]

Horizon Workrooms review: nice, but not compelling for work yet

Horizon Workrooms review: nice, but not compelling for work yet

Some days ago, Facebook has surprisingly launched Horizon Workrooms, its solution to offer remote business meetings in virtual reality. The launch has been seasoned with the usual fluff about the metaverse and Zuckerberg has said that people at Facebook have already been using this product for their meetings for months. VR journalists have tried it […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.08.23): Facebook launches Horizon Workrooms, Intel announces its graphics cards, and more!

大家好! These days are pretty hot here, but this doesn’t stop me from enjoying virtual reality. What I’ve not enjoyed is that SideQuest has removed The Unity Cube from its listing, stating that there were too many cubes there. I think that cubes are never enough… cubes are love, cubes are life. Before leaving to the […]

SideQuest bans The Unity Cube and similar VR apps

SideQuest bans The Unity Cube and similar VR apps

I love telling you the story of The Unity Cube, my crazy application for App Lab that is just a cube, and got amazing results, like more than 3000 installs, the selection as the 20th top-rated app on App Lab, mentions in important magazines like Road To VR and Forbes, and more. Well, today this […]

How App Lab DB is helping indie VR games to get discovered

How App Lab DB is helping indie VR games to get discovered

We all know that it is very difficult to be published on the Official Quest Store and we indie developers have to resort to publishing on the alternate App Lab store. This is a very good channel (we also used it for our game HitMotion: Reloaded), but it has the big problem that doesn’t allow […]
