Mega-roundup of Facebook Connect 2: all the news in a single place!

Mega-roundup of Facebook Connect 2: all the news in a single place!

Hello everyone! As it is tradition of this blog, I have prepared a big fatty roundup with all the news announced at the latest Facebook Connect 2. For every piece of news, I have prepared a short summary and some links to go deeper… this way you are sure you haven’t missed any important piece […]

Facebook Connect 2 was Zuckerberg’s pitch of Meta

Facebook Connect 2 was Zuckerberg’s pitch of Meta

Facebook Connect 2 has finished and almost nothing went as I predicted (I suck at making predictions for Connects, it seems): there was no Quest 2 Pro, no discount on the Quest 2, no update on Assassin’s Creed VR. But one thing actually went as expected: Facebook announced the creation of a parent company called […]

My predictions for Facebook Connect 2

My predictions for Facebook Connect 2

Every year I make this prediction game about what Facebook is going to announce at Oculus/Facebook connect, and this year won’t be an exception! So here you are what I expect to be announced on Thursday… but before reading, remember that I have no inside info about what is going to happen, and it is […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.10.25): Quest 2 Pro leaked, Facebook to change its name, and more!

This great October in VR has not finished yet, and we have still to hear the big news from Facebook in a few days. In the meantime, I got pretty sick after my journey to Switzerland to try CREAL headsets, and it’s taking a while to recover… I can’t wait to become a cyborg so that […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.09.13): Ray-Ban Stories get launched, Lynx R1 to come for $499, and more!

Another Monday, another newsletter! With the VRrOOm team, we have just finished working on the Venice VR Expanded VRChat worlds with last Saturday’s closing ceremony and party that was a blast (you can watch the full recording here if you are interested). The worlds will still be live until the 19th, if you want to […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.06.21): Facebook experiments with VR ads, PSVR 2 to come at the end of 2022, and more!

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 […]

Editorial: Facebook, its DNA, and the VR ads

Editorial: Facebook, its DNA, and the VR ads

Some days ago, Facebook has announced that it will start experimenting with VR ads inside some selected applications (and Blaston will be one of the first) as a new opportunity for developers to make money. Of course, the community reacted pretty badly to this piece of news. So badly that Blaston has been bombed with […]
