Smartphone based Augmented Reality is the big trend of the moment, because thanks to frameworks like Apple ARKit and Google ARCore, it is possible for hundreds million users to experience augmented reality without the need of expensive AR glasses like HoloLens. In my opinion, this hype is a bit exaggerated, since AR on the smartphone […]

If you’re a VR enthusiast like me, surely in these two days your Twitter feed has been flooded by GIFs like this one: If your question has been “what the heck is happening?”… well, I’m here to help you a bit. It all started with Google sharing this article on its blog, followed by this […]
Thursday evening I was able to try for some minutes a Google Daydream headset, thanks to guys of GDG Torino that invited us of Immotionar at their Sognando La Realtà event.
