As an Oculus developer since 2014 (ah, the good old DK2 times), I’ve always developed using Oculus Plugin inside Unity. I know it quite well and in fact, I’ve also made a tutorial about how to use your Avatar SDK inside Unity. Sometimes I also gave a look to other plugins, especially for developing the […]
I found sometimes myself discussing with other VR enthusiasts about if inside-out positional tracking is better or worse than outside-in one. Here are my considerations about this topic. Just to make a little recap about these technologies, I’m talking about solutions to offer positional tracking for virtual reality, the so-called “room-scale”. Since the DK2 times […]

I’ve been fascinated by the fourth spatial dimension since a long time. First time I heard about that I was in high school and I tried to visualize it in my mind in every way, but couldn’t find a proper one. I asked my math teacher and he said to me “Time is the fourth […]
Yesterday I was just relaxing on facebook after lunch, watching funny cats GIFs… …when suddenly I stumbled upon a Robert Scoble’s post Reading this sentence I quite got shocked. If you don’t know who Robert Scoble is… well, he’s a smart AR/VR journalist and innovator… and if someone smart makes a bold announcement, well, I’m […]

I have a new girlfriend: she is blonde, beautiful and dances very well. There’s only a problem: she still doesn’t know who I am. It’s all started when Shawn Jung, a member of the Amaze team, contacted me to review their media and entertainment platform. I was like “Oh, another 360 videos thing, yeah, interesting… […]
Hello everyone! Some months ago I announced you a very sad news: my full body virtual reality startup Immotionar shut down. It has been hard for me and I already written a detailed post mortem on that experience. But surrending is not an option, so… … so I can tell you that I’m working on […]
