One of the biggest drawbacks of HTC Vive headsets with regard to Oculus Rift are the controllers: while Oculus Touch is ergonomic and can emulate the hands quite well, Vive has controllers that are quite big and are usable only as wands. To solve this issue, some time ago Valve announced it was producing a […]
As a blogger, I often need to show you the content of the headset I’m using to show you what I’m working on. In the last months, I’m using a lot the Vive Focus and so I often felt the need to shoot a video or take a picture inside this headset. Regarding the videos, […]
“Hold my beer”: this is what the Vive Focus has told to all other standalone headsets yesterday at the Vive Ecosystem Conference in Shenzhen. The headset has taken a big step forward with the 2.0 update, that introduces so many features that now it completely justifies its high price of $500-$600. The Focus is now […]
In the last times, a lot of people have asked me which kind of headset to buy. There are various new devices out there and there may be some confusion about which one of them investing money onto. Oculus Go, Vive Focus, and Lenovo Mirage Solo seem great pieces of technologies, but which one to […]
These days I’m playing a bit with the two standalone devices that I have in the office: the Vive Focus and the Oculus Go. I like these two toys… they offer easy to use virtual reality. But there is one thing that I hate about developing for standalone headsets: the deploy time.

A breaking news is coming from the GDC 2018: thanks to Road To VR, we now know the price and the launch date of the Vive Pro. And you’ve read everything in the title of this article: $800 (€879 here in Italy) for having only the new headset, the “upgrade-kit” that you can use with […]
In these days I’m playing a bit with the Vive Focus that Mister President has lent me and one of the first things that I wanted to understand is: how can I stream its content to an external monitor? How can I record a video showing what I’m seeing inside? These things could be useful […]
Today on my blog I’ll host a guest post by Matias Nassi, a great XR developer from Uruguay. You may remember his name because he has read and commented a lot of articles on this website. Well, reading his comments I realized that he’s super-skilled on AR/VR/Kinects/all-this-cool-stuff and thought it was a great idea if […]
