“I HAVE JUST FIRED ALL MY DEVELOPERS AND SUBSTITUTED THEM WITH AI. NOW I AM 10X FASTER!”. This is how some LinkedIn posts sound these days. Talking about AI and especially making bold claims about it has become a popular sport, where the prize is not a gold medal, but thousands of likes. I’ve never […]
Summer is coming, and we enter a period of the year when people start going on vacation, and the amount of XR news diminishes… before it sharply rises again during the many tech events of September and October. I’ve spent the week working and recovering from the trip, and also enjoying the videos from XRCC, inside […]
I’m back in Italy! These three weeks of traveling have been very interesting: I have met many people, I had fun, I’ve learned people love my screams, and especially, I have learned a lot from private conversations with people who are way smarter than me. I feel enriched, but honestly speaking, I also feel very […]
These are my last hours in the US! I’m starting to write this newsletter that literally in an hour, I’m going to the airport to return back to Europe. But I’m not returning to Italy, but I’m going to Berlin (Germany) to be a mentor at the XRCC hackathon. If you’re headed there, see you […]

A big hello from Cupertino, the city of Apple, here in the Silicon Valley! I’ll stay here a week to have meetings before going to Berlin to be a mentor at XRCC. I hope my time in the Bay Area will be nice, after the troubled week at AWE (I got sick during the event […]
On my last day at AWE, one of the most interesting hands-on sessions that I had was with XelerateVR, a treadmill to walk in VR. It was not in the list of things that I wanted to try, but my friend Marcus advised me to have a look, and I have to say that it […]
After more than 5 years that I’ve been dreaming about it, I’ve finally been able to try the Infinadeck, the omnidirectional treadmill that seems taken from Ready Player One. Here are my first impressions from my short session with it at AWE! [As usual, since I’ve just tested the device once for a few minutes, […]
Hello everyone from the Los Angeles area! I’m back in the US for AWE, and I’m very excited to start this new adventure today! As usual, I will be your eyes there and I will report to you everything interesting that I see there. If there is something you are curious about, let me know, […]
During my trip to China, one of the most interesting things was visiting the Chinese headquarters of Play For Dream (the company is actually based in Singapore, but has a strong presence in Shanghai). There, I have been able to ask the company some interesting questions about their present and their future. Among these questions, […]
