Today is the day we celebrate the Italian Republic, so theoretically I should be on holiday, but actually I’m here, writing this article to inform you about the most interesting things that have happened in XR in the past week!  As usual, I will be very informative for you all, my human readers, but it seems […]

The XR Week Peek (2025.05.27): Meta overhauls the Quest UI, Apple may launch its glasses in 2026, and more!

I’m back in Italy, after my two-week trip to China (where I had a troubled story with my Quest). I’m happy to be back eating pasta, but I will miss the small restaurants with delicious Asian food that I had close to my place in Shenzhen. Now I’m staying a bit here, and then, as […]

The XR Week Peek (2025.05.21): Google teases its smartglasses, Valve Deckard gets an unexpected leak, and more!

Hello from Shenzhen, China! This is the last city of my Chinese trip, and together with some very interesting discussions I’m having with people here and some new great friends I’m making, I’m also enjoying a lot of Chinese food, since my B&B is in a part of the city full of small local restaurants.

The XR Week Peek (2025.05.13): Ray-Ban Meta 2 may come in 2026, Pimax announces Dream Air SE, and more!

Hello everyone from Shanghai, China! I’ve arrived an hour ago in my hotel room, after a few unexpected problems, like the airline company not letting me board the plane for nonexistent issues with my baggage or the hotel reception that couldn’t find my registration.

The XR Week Peek (2025.05.05): Meta Quest’s disappointing sales, passthrough apps now on the Horizon Store, and more!

I would like to say that this has been an exciting week for XR, but it wouldn’t be true: actually, probably also because of the vacations for the 1st of May, it has been one of the most boring weeks of the year in our field. But I’m excited anyway since I’m going to have […]

The XR Week Peek (2025.04.30): Meta keeps evolving Ray-Ban Meta, Quest 3S refurbished are sold for $270, and more!

These days, we are not having exciting XR news because many people are taking some extra days of vacation around the celebrations for the 1st of May. Actually I’m going to celebrate the day of the workers by working, since I have a few deliveries to take care of, and that’s also why this newsletter […]

Yesterday it was Easter here in Italy, and I had a good time with my family eating delicious food. You can read my greetings to the community and see some pictures of the cake I’ve eaten on Twitter/X if you want.  Today is also a Holiday in Italy (I guess to leave people the time to […]
