These days at AWE are being intense… in a good way. Today I have selected two cool things to talk about with you: the new version of the haptic gloves HaptX, and the new “Teleport” service by Varjo. Then I am reporting you the (in)famous announcement by Palmer Luckey about him working on a new […]
The 1st day of AWE has just ended and I’m back at my apartment very tired but also very happy. It’s been a great day: I’ve tried many amazing products, I’ve met a lot of good friends, and I’ve got to know new interesting people. It’s the magic of AWE: every single day is so […]
Greetings from California! I’m writing this letter between Silicon Valley (East Palo Alto, to be exact) and Los Angeles because I’m moving to attend AWE!
