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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.07.05): Facebook to have $6B of losses for the VR business, investments in XR are on the rise, and more!

It’s summertime, and as usual, during this part of the year, people think about going to the seaside more than about VR, and so the news to talk about are always fewer. So expect this and the following weeks to be a bit calmer for the XR ecosystem. I have some news to share about me […]

It’s that time of the week where you can read about the most important news of the past week in AR and VR again! Are you ready? Before starting, my friends at FXG and at Leenzee Games are promoting the Chinese mystery VR game A.D. 2047 and are offering to my readers an exclusive giveaway of […]

Happy VR Summer! This is the first day of this sunny season (if you live in my same hemisphere of course), and I hope that you won’t have any Summertime Sadness like Lana Del Rey, but you all will enjoy the sun, have some relax, and forget for a moment all the hard times we […]
