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 […]

I have many sweet memories of my trip to China. One of the best of them is when in Beijing I visited the company 7Invensun, a worldwide excellence in eye tracking. It has been a great moment both from a personal and professional side: as a person, I was delighted by their kind attitude: they […]
