WebXR is a technology with enormous potential, but at the moment it offers far worse tools to develop for it than standalone VR, where we all use Unity and Unreal Engine. Mozilla, that is doing a lot for the immersive web, has so decided to develop a WebXR exporter for Unity, to let all Unity […]
Heeeeelllo VR people! It’s time for another mega roundup of news! But before reporting to you what has happened this week, I’m pleased to announce that I will actually be a speaker at AWE in the end! There won’t be a physical AWE, but there will be an online one, made through online webinars. The AWE […]
Today I was reading Upload VR, and I’ve found a very interesting article by David Heaney stating that now it is possible to use your real environment as your Oculus Quest Home environment. I immediately got excited, because this meant that the Oculus Quest has now some augmented reality functionalities! I tried this new feature, […]
When I was at the Polytechnic of Turin, I already had a strong passion for multimedia technologies, and since VR was still a dream at that time, my first passions were the two technologies that are its foundations, that is computer graphics and computer vision. My teacher of computer vision, that later on would have […]
Happy Easter everyone, and if you don’t celebrate Easter, Happy Sunday! I really wish you and all your families a lot of peace and joy. These are harsh times, but we must stay united and resist. We can do it 🙂 As it is tradition, I prepared a terribly photoshopped image to wish you Happy Holidays! You […]

The past week has been the week of Half-Life: Alyx, but something else has also happened in the XR world! If you were too focused on smashing headcrabs to read VR news, don’t worry, because the Ghost has got you covered! PS Down in this post, I also describe a virtual festival initiative that we’ve built […]
Today is the day! There are a lot of things I will tell you in this roundup of news, but I already know that no one of you is going to care because, well, Half-Life! 😀 Jokes apart, before starting, let me send a big hug to all of you that are in quarantine because of the […]
Another week closed at home, sending big hugs to all of you VR enthusiasts of the world. Many countries are locking down because of the coronavirus, so I hope you all stay safe, healthy and will be able to keep in touch with the people you love. And if you need some pieces of advice […]
Greetings from the lockdown! As you probably know I’m a VR consultant/developer, and I’m Italian. Here we are currently in lockdown and the situation is pretty frustrating: we can’t travel, we are strongly advised not to go out from home (we must carry a paper that justifies why we are exiting even just to have […]
I’ve had the great pleasure of speaking with Lars Bergstrom, a very smart professional that with the Mixed Reality team at Mozilla works every day to improve the WebXR platform, working for a future immersive web that preserves our privacy and doesn’t clutter us with banners and fake news. He provided me very interesting insights […]
