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.
The Oculus Go has just been released by Oculus and a lot of developers have started receiving it and are experimenting with it. I’m among them: today I’ve made my first builds and so I want to guide you through the first very basic steps in building an app for Oculus Go on Unity, to […]
Do you remember one of my popular posts published in December 2017 when I announced the shutdown of VRTK? Well, some days ago things have changed and VRTK has returned from the world of the dead. This is a great news for the VR community.
Since the time I have the Vive Focus of Mr. President on my desk, I’ve started doing experiments with it and its Vive Wave SDK. For instance, I contributed to the little musical experience that Enea Le Fons has taken to a disco club during his 30 Days in VR experiment and I made the […]
In my review of Amazon Sumerian I said multiple times that in other game engines, like Unity, it is not possible to create a WebVR experience. Well, just some days after that article, I’ve been proved wrong. Actually it is possible and I’ll explain you how.
UPDATE 30/04/2018: Before reading this article, you should know that VRTK is actually alive again! Read this article of mine where I announce version 4 of VRTK and how it has been possible. Exactly 2 weeks ago, I and other VR innovators have been shocked by the announcement of the VRTK shut down that will […]
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 […]
As an Oculus developer since 2014 (ah, the good old DK2 times), I’ve always developed using Oculus Plugin inside Unity. I know it quite well and in fact, I’ve also made a tutorial about how to use your Avatar SDK inside Unity. Sometimes I also gave a look to other plugins, especially for developing the […]
Today I just want to start a new category of blog posts: my devlog. I’ll keep you updated about a little project I’m doing and describe you the challenges I’m facing. It’s just an experiment that I’m doing for a month or so… you (my lovely readers) will tell me if you like this and […]
At VRLA Unity CEO John Riccitiello expressed his opinion about virtual reality market in the future… he has been very realistic and so I loved what he said. The reason for so much love is that he showcased a cold analysis on the VR market, based on his expertise and the numbers owned by Unity, […]
There’s been a lot of hype about game engines with VR editors in the last months. The first one has been Unreal Engine, showcasing a solution for HTC Vive (because at that time it was the only headset with proper VR controllers) and then of course Unity decided to do something similar, announcing a VR […]
