Kiss Me First review: a slow Netflix series about virtual reality
During the Ready Player One hype, Netflix announced that it was going to broadcast a series about virtual reality called Kiss Me First.

How to fix Vive controllers not working inside SteamVR games
We all love virtual reality, but sometimes it gives us big headaches. And not because of the motion sickness, but because something doesn’t work.

Varjo talks with me about its human eye resolution VR headset and its mixed reality add-on (that will be available at AWE 2019)
Varjo. If you follow the evolutions of the virtual reality ecosystem, for sure you know this name: it is a Finnish startup working on developing a headset that features human-eye resolution. They took an approach similar to foveated rendering, but actually developed in an original way. Instead of downgrading the areas of the screen that […]

Why we should care about ergonomics in virtual reality
I always say that most of my readers know VR far better than me. For sure this is the case of Rob Farquarson-Cole, that you surely know because he comments a lot on this and other VR blogs under the nickname “R FC”. Rob first tried VR in 1991, and has become an enthusiast of […]
Virtual Reality is reaching a mature state according to Gartner
Some days ago, while browsing the Facebook group VIRTUAL REALITY, I found a post comparing the Gartner Hype Cycle 2017 and 2018. The results of the comparison were basically two: Augmented Reality has not moved in the graph; Virtual Reality has disappeared. I found this pretty interesting: last year, VR was going towards the right […]

Welcome to my post about the second day I’ve spent here at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany (you can read the summary of the previous ones here and here).

Gamescom 2018 Day 1: World of Tanks VR, ThermoReal lets you feel hot and cold in VR, and much more
The Gamescom has officially begun, at least for us of the press. It’s strange for me to say the word “press”: I still feel like a random guy that writes random words about his passion on a public website, but ehi, for someone I’m a member of the media. And for sure I won’t try […]
