The XR Week Peek (2025.10.13): Valve is ramping up the production of Steam Frame, Apple is prioritizing smartglasses, and more!

It’s been a nice week for me. I’ve also been honored by seeing the publication of the episode of the AI/XR Podcast where I have been a guest of three legends like Charlie Fink, Ted Schilowitz, and Rony Abovitz. I was pretty excited, and I hope I managed to say something smart. If you are […]

Ben Lang gives us great lessons about XR journalism, marketing, and technology

Ben Lang gives us great lessons about XR journalism, marketing, and technology

I have finally managed to interview one of my favorite people in XR: Benjaming Lang, the OG founder of Road To VR. He started with XR even before Oculus was a thing, and over these 14 years of his career, he has informed the XR community about what was happening in the space. He’s one […]

The XR Week Peek (2025.10.06): Meta launches its display glasses, Apple prepares to launch a refresh of AVP, and more!

These days, I’m keeping myself busy with a couple of projects. No trips are on sight for October, because I need to recover.  But I’m happy to announce that I’m supporting XRCC again as a media partner, because it’s one of the best hackathons we have in the AR/VR ecosystem. The new XRCC Online version is […]

The XR Week Peek (2025.09.30): Meta bets on Horizon Worlds on mobile, Meta opens physical stores, and more!

I’m back in Italy, after a very long and complex trip back from the US (I had a stop of 13 hours in Paris!). Now I have a few weeks when I’ll stay at home in Italy, and can dedicate myself a bit more to my development job. I think it’s going to be also […]

Meta Horizon Hyperscape Capture review: an impressive way to capture and teleport to places

Meta Horizon Hyperscape Capture review: an impressive way to capture and teleport to places

The Ray-Ban Meta Display has been the most discussed device at Meta Connect, but another piece of technology that was announced at Connect impressed me much more than the new smartglasses. I’m talking about Meta Horizon Hyperscape Capture, which is probably one of the most mindblowing things I’ve tried lately… and I’m not someone easy […]

You have for sure read my long and detailed report of my hands-on session with the Ray-Ban Meta Display that I had at Meta Connect. However, at Connect, I actually tried out other demos, both hardware and software, and I’d like to share my quick impressions about them. [Notice: I had a few minutes with […]

Meta Connect: useful advice for attendees

Meta Connect: useful advice for attendees

Meta Connect ended a few days ago. It was my first time going there, and I had a lot of fun. However, I recall that on a few occasions, I’ve found myself a bit lost, and I’ve also made some mistakes here and there. So, as I usually do in these cases, I’ve written a […]

The XR Week Peek (2025.09.22): A big summary of Meta Connect, Snap and Apple’s glasses update, and more!

This week, I had my Meta Connect experience, and I have to say it was great. There were many amazing XR people, I tried some cool demos, I ate a lot of free food… I really had a good time there. Now that the event is over, I’m still in the US, and I’m writing […]

My predictions for Meta Connect 2025

As you know, this is my first year attending Meta Connect, and I’m pretty excited about it. And even if I have this new thing for me, I want to carry on my old tradition of playing the guessing game about what to expect at this event tomorrow. So here you are, my predictions about […]

This is another newsletter that I’m going to write literally on the fly, because today I’m traveling to the US to attend Meta Connect. So I guess I’ll write part of it in Turin, and part in Paris, where I’ll have my stop before going to San Francisco. Wish me a safe trip!  (Ah and if […]

Play For Dream hands-on: an MR headset with potential

Play For Dream hands-on: an MR headset with potential

After I published my detailed review of the Vivo Vision headset, many people asked me how it compares with another interesting Chinese mixed reality headset: the Play For Dream MR. At that moment, I realized that I had never published my review of Play For Dream: I had the opportunity of trying the headset for […]
