How To create an Oculus Quest app and submit it to App Lab

Yesterday Facebook has finally announced its new side content distribution system for the Oculus Quest, dubbed App Lab. With it, it is finally possible to publish for the Oculus Quest your VR apps that have not been approved by Facebook. As a developer, I think it is an amazing possibility, so as soon as I […]

Jake Rubin talks HaptX gloves and the future of haptics

One of the most interesting announcements of last week has been the release of the HaptX Gloves DK2, one of the most interesting haptic gloves for VR.

UltraLeap Gemini review: use both hands in VR!

One of the first accessories for AR/VR I had the opportunity to work on is the Leap Motion hands tracking controller: I made some cool experiments and prototypes with it and the Oculus Rift DK2.

My predictions for virtual reality in 2021

My predictions for virtual reality in 2021

Let’s be honest: no one made correct predictions for 2020. The global pandemic has changed the rules for everything, and the situation is so confusing and so rapidly evolving that any prediction for 2021 is completely unreliable, too.
