I promised you a surprise post for this week and here we are: I am announcing “Hybrid Hands Interactions”, a special opensource plugin that lets you interact in mixed reality with real objects so that you can create some magical experiences like this one: Hybrid interactions In this period I’m experimenting a lot with Mixed […]
I am back in Italy! The trip to the US has been incredibly interesting: I have met many amazing people and tried many innovative devices, so I have been very satisfied with having gone there. I still miss a bit having a walk around University Street in Palo Alto and seeing a lot of young […]
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 […]
Reddit user Samulia, that is used to analyze the Quest firmware (and made some “predictions” about the Quest 2 Pro), has found in the Quest runtime some videos that depict a new headset with new controllers, most probably the upcoming Quest 2 Pro! The news has been shared with me by the other great technologist […]
This one is the last AR/VR news roundup for this summer! Here in Turin, the sun is shining, but the temperature is getting colder, and autumn is coming too fast. I think I’ll miss the joys of summer (and all the trophies that Italy has won), but at least I’ll be able to enjoy again […]

This week has not been very important for AR and VR: no major event has happened. BUT today is the day of the WWDC, and who knows if Apple will tease something about AR glasses. I personally don’t expect a launch or a full reveal, but maybe they could at least hint something. The event […]
Some weeks ago Facebook has released Air Link, a feature that the community was requesting for a lot of time. This has been a very bad piece of news for Virtual Desktop that now should compete for its most requested feature with a software that is integrated into the runtime of the Quest 2 and […]
Some days ago, Facebook has distributed its new Facebook Avatars system, promising many possible customizations, a machine-learning algorithm able to reliably reconstruct the pose of your upper body, and a visual appearance that is the right mix between realism and cartoon-style. But is this true? Discover it in today’s hands-on post! Trying out Facebook Avatars […]
