I’ve almost fully recovered from my little flu so I can be productive again. It’s a weird period, with ups and downs, but I try to focus on the up things. Like a few days ago I had a Linkedin post with 1.5M+ views… an impressive number I had never reached before. It was of […]
Today’s article is one of the most beautiful published in this blog in 2022. And in fact, it has not been written by me. XR ergonomics expert Rob Cole published last year on this platform an article detailing Project Caliper, that is his experiments in building fully configurable controllers for SteamVR. The article soon gets […]
One of the most interesting products I have tried at AWE has been SyncReality, a solution to turn every physical space into a mixed reality experience. This is something I thought about also doing myself, so I have been very happy to see that someone was carrying on that vision for real. Let me explain […]
A few weeks ago, I was discussing with a colleague of mine that I hadn’t seen for months, and while we were updating ourselves about each other’s lives, we started talking about our VR careers. We both are in a better situation than a few years ago, so at a certain point, he told me […]
It’s hot and the drought is creating some issues here in northern Italy. But I had a nice weekend, plus I’ve been chosen by Onalytica as one of the top 5G+XR influencers on Linkedin, so I think of this and I stay happy. Top news of the week Meta showed prototype headsets from its R&D department […]
In a few hours I’ll take a flight to go to the US to attend (and be a speaker at) AWE. I was thinking about my experience there last year, and I realized that I never talked to you about my amazing experience in Ultraleap offices in the Bay Area. In particular, I never told […]
Today I have a cool announcement to make… but before let me wish all the women in XR a fantastic International Women’s Day! I love about this community that is very inclusive. In these 8 years that I have worked in the AR/VR ecosystem I have had the luck of meeting some amazing women that […]
As always in January I like to play the speculation game and make my personal predictions for augmented and virtual reality for the new year (2022, in this case). The difference between the two is becoming always more blurred, but for this year I prefer keeping them separate because they still have different markets. I […]
Today I host a guest post from Immersive Reality, a UK-based company that immerses its users inside environments without the use of VR headsets, but projecting the images of the virtual worlds on the walls of a room. I’ve found it interesting because they also use this setup to help children with certain disabilities that […]
One of my favorite demos at AWE has been with Ekto VR boots, which have probably been the craziest devices that I’ve tried during the expo… and I totally loved them for it! Ekto VR Locomotion in VR is still an unsolved problem. Apart from the software solutions (e.g. teleportation, smooth locomotion), there are a […]
Pico today announced the release of Pico Neo 3 Pro and Pico Neo 3 Pro Eye, its latest enterprise standalone headsets, to the Western markets. I have just received the Pico Neo 3 Pro directly from Pico Interactive (thanks!) and after some quick tests, I’m ready to give you some brief first impressions about it, […]
