On Friday, I’ve published on my social media channels a video where I showcased that I have been able to create an augmented reality app for the Vive Focus. I promised that today I would have shown you how I did it and so now I am here writing this article to keep my promise. […]
One of the biggest drawbacks of HTC Vive headsets with regard to Oculus Rift are the controllers: while Oculus Touch is ergonomic and can emulate the hands quite well, Vive has controllers that are quite big and are usable only as wands.

As a blogger, I often need to show you the content of the headset I’m using to show you what I’m working on. In the last months, I’m using a lot the Vive Focus and so I often felt the need to shoot a video or take a picture inside this headset. Regarding the videos, […]

Do you know CGTrader? If you, like me, are a developer only capable of creating cubes in Blender, for sure you have heard this name. It is one of those places where people look for 3D models, alongside other marketplaces like the Unity Asset Store, Google Poly or Turbosquid. It is very popular and contains […]
