Chris Koomen is a Virtual Reality specialist and consultant at KLM, a Dutch airline company. He is a very smart professional, and he’s very passionate about AR and VR technologies, and for this reason, I have already interviewed him on my blog. Because of his work, he finds himself working every day on XR headsets […]
Today I feature a great interview with one of the most important people in the AR space: Alan Smithson. I virtually know Alan since some years, and I have always admired his ability to combine his entrepreneurial skills with his passion for immersive realities so that to be successful by doing the things that he […]
Oculus has gained in these years always more success in the consumers’ landscape, and now with the Oculus Quest, thanks to an affordable device running great content, it is making strides in the market. But in the enterprise space, it has always been behind the competition of companies like HTC or Pico. It tried to […]
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 […]
Yesterday was an amazing day for virtual reality, with the launch of probably the best standalone VR headset for consumers, the reveal of probably the best headset for developers, the announcement of new possibilities for enterprise customers,and… also yeah, there was something about the Rift S, but no one cares about it! 😀 In this […]
When I interviewed Kevin Williams, an expert in the LBVR market, he said that there are also some experiments with location-based augmented reality and he mentioned a Japanese arcade AR game called HADO. For sure you all know HADO: even if you don’t remember the name, you have for sure seen one of those viral […]
Varjo. If you follow the evolutions of the virtual reality ecosystem, for sure you know this name: it is a Finnish startup working on developing a headset that features human-eye resolution. They took an approach similar to foveated rendering, but actually developed in an original way. Instead of downgrading the areas of the screen that […]
Some days ago, while browsing the Facebook group VIRTUAL REALITY, I found a post comparing the Gartner Hype Cycle 2017 and 2018. The results of the comparison were basically two: Augmented Reality has not moved in the graph; Virtual Reality has disappeared. I found this pretty interesting: last year, VR was going towards the right […]
Do you remember my first impressions review of the Vive Pro? Well, it lacked an important information that still wasn’t revealed at that time: the price of the headset and of its full bundle. Today, finally, we have all the pricing info that we need. Thanks to Road To VR, we know the price of […]
I’ve read a lot of commentaries in these days about the recent report about “Digital games and interactive media” (and so AR and VR, too) that the market analysis company Superdata has released last week. These comments were pretty bad, so I decided to read the report to have some personal opinion about what they’ve […]
“Influencer”: it is actually a world that I hate. Some people say that their job is being an influencer, but IMHO it means nothing. If your job is influencing people minds and opinions, I immediately assume that in your life you are a hypnotist, a magician or something like that :). Furthermore, this word is […]
