Short hands-on at SXSW: Vive XR Elite, HYPERVSN… the CIA… and more!

Today I want to tell you about some very short hands-on sessions I had during my attendance at the SXSW festival. They were all very interesting experiences, but given the very short time I had with these devices, what I’m going to write can’t be considered a real review, but more some kind of first […]

What are the nits of an AR/VR display (explained with memes and potatoes)

What are the nits of an AR/VR display (explained with memes and potatoes)

Today I wanted to learn something new. It’s years that I read about the “nits” of AR displays and why they should be meaningful for outdoor AR, but I never truly understood what they meant. I got they were a measure of brightness, but I couldn’t grasp the exact meaning. I was used to saying […]

How to build your passthrough AR app for Oculus Quest in Unity

How to build your passthrough AR app for Oculus Quest in Unity

I love passthrough augmented reality, because it lets us create AR experiences with the VR headsets that we already own, plus it also opens up augmented reality to new possibilities, like wide-FOV vision or diminished reality experiences.

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 […]
