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

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 […]

Hello everyone! This summer week has been amazing for me and I want to share my happiness with you. It has all been because of these three pieces of news: My blog is now 5 years old! I still can’t believe that I did it for so long… and this is also been possible thanks […]

Victory XR’s cadaver lab shows why VR matters in medical education

The XR Week Peek (2021.08.02): Facebook creates Metaverse group and prepares to launch its smartglasses, and more!

The metaverse is the buzzword of the moment, so last week I made a stupid meme about it (you can see it on Twitter), and then yesterday I realized it had gone viral. If I had known people could like it, I would have not made it in 5 minutes with Microsoft Word, lol. It […]
