Who said that the life of developers is boring? I’ve spent the last Saturday night in a real discotheque in Milan to make people try our virtual reality experience Beat Reality and I really had tons of fun.
This Saturday I have been to the Milano Games Week. If you don’t know what it is, I can describe it as the little Italian brother of the Gamescom: it is much smaller, but it features anyway a lot of games, both from popular major players and from indies. I went there to try some […]
Some weeks ago, I’ve got to know a crazy demo for Oculus Rift called Eyeballs VR Demo, who lets you detach your eyes inside VR. Being something completely insane, I thought: I have absolutely to try it! And today I’ve finally tried this complete craziness and I can assure you that it has been a […]
The Vive Focus was most probably the best VR standalone on the market when Oculus last week announced what will be the first consumer 6DOF VR standalone headset. And so here we are again: Oculus vs HTC, America vs China, Hugo Barra vs Alvin Wang Graylin. The never-ending story. A commercial war that has given […]
As it is tradition of this little blog, I will write a full round-up of the Oculus Connect 5, the very important Oculus event that has been held in San Jose on 26th and 27th of September (2018). I have not been there, but I have read an enormous amount of sources and now I […]

Yesterday I was reading the comments on Reddit regarding my post with the predictions for Oculus Connect 5 and the kind redditor /u/SilverWhite2 provided me the link to the latest available patent with the design of Santa Cruz. In the patent, there are some pictures of how the Santa Cruz may be and so I’m […]
Next week, on September 26th-27th, Oculus will perform its annual showcase event: Oculus Connect, that has now arrived at its 5th edition. The latest event, the OC4 has been full of news and interesting information, both on Oculus products and VR in general and I think that this year won’t be different. As all VR […]
I’ve obtained the beta version of the gesture SDK that Vive is developing for the Vive Focus and that will allow people to command the Vive Focus using only the bare hands and not the controllers. So I started thinking about what I can develop with it and a lot of good ideas came in […]
In China I met the company 7Invensun, that is a worldwide leader for what concerns eye tracking. Being them very kind, they gave me as a gift an aGlass DK II eye tracking add on for HTC Vive and I used it to experiment with eye tracking interfaces. After some days of usage, I think […]
