Today I want to write a short post about a rather common issue that I read about Oculus Rift devices and that I had myself in the past. It all regards the HDMI connection: Oculus runtime says that the device is unplugged from HDMI when it actually is plugged it. Panic. What should we do?
At the CES 2018 (if you lost the news about it, read this post of mine where I summarize them all) HTC Vive has presented the Vive Pro, that has lots of fantastic features and among these ones, there is the use of SteamVR Tracking v2. All this talking about Vive and Vive tracking has […]
Last week I’ve given you a detailed review of Aryzon, the cheap augmented reality viewer made by some Dutch guys. I really love this project, since it allows everyone to get started with AR by investing only $30. A lot of people that can’t afford to buy a HoloLens, Meta 2 or Magic Leap (if […]
It is something that happened to us all: you put your headset on to live an amazing VR adventure (like a Robo Recall match) or to watch a great movie (like Miyubi) and after few seconds, the lenses start to fog. Everything becomes so steamy and the experience is ruined. So you have to press […]
We all know what ARCore is and how interesting it is since it lets us enjoy augmented reality directly from our Android phones, as ARKit does with Apple phones.

WebVR is a technology that will have a bright future, we all know it. Since it gives the ability to develop VR applications once and then make them available for every kind of headsets, it is a powerful framework. This is why I covered WebVR various times in my blog, like when I talked about […]
Welcome to 2017! I wish to you all that this will be an astonishing year! In 2016 I left you with this video showcasing my first experiments with Oculus Touch, Avatar SDK, in cooperation with our ImmotionRoom full body system. As you can see in the video, there are female full body avatars made with […]
Today I’ll talk about another one of the most frequently asked questions on reddit: after having talked about about if you have to buy a VR headset, which one you should buy and how to start developing with it, today I’ll talk about how to overcome the motion sickness in VR. The typical scenario is […]
Oculus Rift CV1 comes with very handy integrated headphones. That’s great, but they may cause some problems about where to output stuff, especially games designed to be played with Oculus.
