To celebrate its first birthday, my friend and renewed XR ergonomics expert Rob Cole of Immersive Computing has decided to write another one of his very interesting guest posts about his experiments with this device, […]
The Valve Index is one of the VR headsets of the moment. Thanks to its supreme design (that fostered very positive reviews) and the hype created by Half-Life: Alyx, it is gone sold-out in all the 31 countries it is sold in. When I reviewed it, I praised it as probably the best headset I […]

On its faceplate, it has two front cameras, that are not used for inside-out tracking, but to provide some kind of mixed reality features. While Valve has not released an SDK to develop mixed reality applications yet, it is already […]
I wish you’re having some nice vacations! Personally, I’m not in vacation… on the contrary, I’m working more now than two months ago! (and this is good from one side, but stressful on others… much thanks to air conditioning to make me survive in that oven that is Italy in these days!). BTW, if you […]
I’m in Italy again and here in these days, it is damn hot and wet. I’m hoping to attend a VR event in the North Pole, so that I can feel some cold again. This week in XR has been quite cold instead, and there have not been many interesting news. Anyway, it has not been […]
