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 […]
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 […]
Yesterday night I have tried The Secret Of Retropolis, a VR game inspired by LucasArts’s point and click adventures developed by indie studio Peanut Button. The studio is composed of three developers that say they have no money for marketing and need help promoting their game. This looked like a job for the SkarredGhost, who […]
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 […]
Welcome to the first roundup of the best AR/VR news for May! There has been no game-changing news from this week, but we had some interesting things to look at the same. Before I start telling you the news, let me tell you that if you want to join me in my upcoming events, I’ll have […]
This week has been pretty crazy: It all started with Facebook approving my silly The Unity Cube application (an application with just a cube) on App Lab. I’ve written a post to spread the news, highlighting the lessons learned from this app that I made to test the App Lab process and promote freedom for […]
