LBVR will be for sure the industry that will be impacted the most by coronavirus. No one will want to put on his face a device that has been on the face of many people before, because it would be too risky. The times when at exhibitions you put on headsets used by thousands of […]
Virtual events and meetings are the topic of the moment. As a consultant, I am receiving many requests for remote collaboration tools now during the lockdown, and with my partners Massimiliano Ariani and SIDI, I am also hosting some workshops in VR. For this reason, I gained a good expertise in immersive collaboration tools, and […]
Typing in AR/VR is still an unsolved problem. Every method tried until now doesn’t work, either because it is too complicated, or slow, or cumbersome. An interesting startup in the field is TAP, that with its innovative one-hand gesture-based keyboard has gained some interest, because it lets you write everywhere, with just one hand, without […]
Another busy week has passed by, and here in Italy we just got the news that lockdown measures will start to loosen from next week, but the road to go out as we wish is still long. Anyway, I’m very busy at home, and I’m working on a new secret project with the startup Beyond The […]

Today I was reading Upload VR, and I’ve found a very interesting article by David Heaney stating that now it is possible to use your real environment as your Oculus Quest Home environment. I immediately got excited, because this meant that the Oculus Quest has now some augmented reality functionalities! I tried this new feature, […]
Thanks to the WeChat group XR Story I got to know Gianluigi Perrone, a very talented movie director that works a lot with virtual reality, and that also teaches cinema at the Beijing Film Academy. He is Italian like me, but he is living in Beijing, China for 7 years. I met him in China […]
Happy Easter everyone, and if you don’t celebrate Easter, Happy Sunday! I really wish you and all your families a lot of peace and joy. These are harsh times, but we must stay united and resist. We can do it 🙂 As it is tradition, I prepared a terribly photoshopped image to wish you Happy Holidays! You […]
After having teased the device for a very long time, in the end, TG0 has launched its innovative Etee controllers on Kickstarter.
