I can’t wait to try some amazing XR devices and meet the people of the XR community in the next three days!

In a couple of days, I’m starting my trip to the Benelux region to enjoy United XR Europe, which will take place on December 8-10 in Brussels, Belgium. The organizers were so kind to organize for me a preview of five super cool companies that will be there among the 150+ exhibitors, so I could […]

It’s the first day of December! I usually like December, most probably because it is a month of celebrations, and usually at Christmas I spend some nice time with my family. And talking about holidays… I hope all of you who celebrate it had a great Thanksgiving! For me ,this will also be a month of […]

The XR Week Peek (2025.11.24): Hyperscape spaces become multiplayer, The 8th Wall shuts down, and more!

I’m back in Italy, after a crazy week in Finland between MatchXR and Slush. And especially a weekend during which I discovered that my team won a prize at the latest development competition organized by Meta! I’m so excited and happy about that. But now there is no time to be excited anymore; it is […]

I’ve landed in Helsinki to attend MatchXR and Slush. I’m a bit disappointed that there is no snow, but I hope that some will fall in the next days! This is going to be a crazy, busy week for me between the events, the blog articles, and the remote work I have to do, so […]

Steam Frame may be great, but it may not be a game changer for XR

Steam Frame may be great, but it may not be a game changer for XR

Today, Valve has finally announced the Steam Frame, its hybrid standalone/PCVR headset. It seems like a great device, but I’m honestly a bit disappointed because I don’t think it will be disruptive to our ecosystem. Let me explain why. Steam Frame In case you missed the news, I’ll briefly summarize: Valve has announced its new […]

Last week, my time at the Next Reality festival in Hamburg was very nice, and I even won an award there! It’s always great to see some recognition for the hard work of all these years. Now I’m back in Italy, back to work, and back to pasta, but ready for the next adventure next […]

The XR Week Peek (2025.11.03): Google partners with Magic Leap, Meta had an internal restructuring, and more!

The past week has not been the most exciting one in the XR space. After both Apple and Google fired their shots in the previous two weeks, nothing incredibly relevant happened. But these are pretty interesting times for me, at least: I shipped my project (fingers crossed), I’m traveling to Hamburg to speak at the […]
