The XR Week Peek (2021.09.20): Quest 2 Pro leaks, Xiaomi smartglasses, Half Dive headset, and more!

This one is the last AR/VR news roundup for this summer! Here in Turin, the sun is shining, but the temperature is getting colder, and autumn is coming too fast. I think I’ll miss the joys of summer (and all the trophies that Italy has won), but at least I’ll be able to enjoy again […]

Another Monday, another newsletter! With the VRrOOm team, we have just finished working on the Venice VR Expanded VRChat worlds with last Saturday’s closing ceremony and party that was a blast (you can watch the full recording here if you are interested). The worlds will still be live until the 19th, if you want to […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.09.06): A week full of VR events, Chinese headsets are on the rise, and more!

This week came with two great pieces of news for me. The first one is that the bond between me and VRrOOm has become a bit more official, and we’ll keep innovating the virtual events sector together for a while. The second one is that we of New Technology Walkers have just launched our fitness […]

大家好! These days are pretty hot here, but this doesn’t stop me from enjoying virtual reality. What I’ve not enjoyed is that SideQuest has removed The Unity Cube from its listing, stating that there were too many cubes there. I think that cubes are never enough… cubes are love, cubes are life. Before leaving to the […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.08.16): Facebook releases Passthrough APIs, Quest on the road to 10M units, and more!

Hello everyone! This summer week has been amazing for me and I want to share my happiness with you. It has all been because of these three pieces of news: My blog is now 5 years old! I still can’t believe that I did it for so long… and this is also been possible thanks […]

I’m overly happy to announce to you that today we of New Technology Walkers have launched our VR fitness game HitMotion: Reloaded on Oculus App Lab! Many people requested it, and it has finally been approved by Facebook. Even if you already have the game, please get it again from App Lab, so that you […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.08.02): Facebook creates Metaverse group and prepares to launch its smartglasses, and more!

The metaverse is the buzzword of the moment, so last week I made a stupid meme about it (you can see it on Twitter), and then yesterday I realized it had gone viral. If I had known people could like it, I would have not made it in 5 minutes with Microsoft Word, lol. It […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.07.26): Facebook aims at the Metaverse, Quest 2 goes MR, and more!

I’m incredibly happy about having been hosted by Sebastian Ang (MRTV), one of my favorite VR content creators, in his weekly podcast on Youtube! We spoke about AR and VR for 2 hours and we were having so much fun that we could have gone on for other 2 hours without problems! If you want […]

The XR Week Peek: Facebook abandons BCIs, VR grows fast, and much more!

It’s a nice summer day here in Italy, and I hope things for all of you are going well. I feel a bit weird because I’ve discovered yesterday that I’m the subject of nightmares for Celine Tricart, a well-renowned VR creator. I mean, I’m a ghost, so probably I should be fine with the idea […]

Sorry if this newsletter is one day late. Probably I should tell you that I was busy with VR projects, but the truth is that I have been celebrating a lot lately, especially the recent victory of Italy in the Euro 2020 soccer championship. I have watched the final match with friends and we had […]
