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 […]
The time has come. After many years of waiting, and even a second iteration of the device scrapped away, Microsoft is finally going to announce the next generation of HoloLens. But, what to expect from it? Well, let me speculate a bit… When and where HoloLens vNext will be launched on February, 24th 2019 in […]
It’s the beginning of 2019, and this means that this is that time of the year when we all make predictions for this year in AR and VR! We all love to make speculations on the technology and I am no exception. It is fun to make predictions… because if, after a year, you were […]
It’s L.E.A.P. Conference time and everyone is only talking about Magic Leap in these days.

I have many sweet memories of my trip to China. One of the best of them is when in Beijing I visited the company 7Invensun, a worldwide excellence in eye tracking. It has been a great moment both from a personal and professional side: as a person, I was delighted by their kind attitude: they […]

We all know what the Cardboard […]
In a previous post I highlighted the problems that current generation of augmented reality headsets have (if you haven’t read it, read it!). Today I want to show you the problems that can happen while showcasing an augmented reality application in an exhibition or such. On Friday I went to Novara to test a project […]
Today I felt super-rich. It has been like the moment when I had the opportunity to take a lap inside a wonderful red Ferrari car thanks to EIA accelerator. I felt rich for some minutes and I looked at the other super-poor people envying me, like Paris Hilton looks at us standard people… and then […]
Yesterday there haven’t been many interesting news about the VR world, but my startup buddy Gianni sent me a super-interesting link that made me think a lot.
