Google is surely a believer in virtual reality: it is the inventor of the most sold VR headset (Cardboard); the creator of one of the two high-end mobile headsets (Daydream) and of a new generation of standalone devices (Daydream Standalone); it is also promoter of 360 videos and its popular video portal Youtube now fully […]
Some times ago I’ve had the pleasure to interview Michael Pazaratz and Cindy Aponte of Rave. What is Rave? It is a platform born with the intent of making people watch videos on the web together. For example you and your friends want to watch Youtube videos together: if you’re all in a single place, […]
On social media, I’ve read many times posts praising the role of women in VR: these posts, tagged with #WomenInVR, often asks for more equality inside the VR ecosystem. I support equality, but I admit that I don’t always like these articles, since sometimes they just end up being completely feminist… but I realized that […]
Today is a good day: thanks to an online documentation update published by Valve and spotted by UploadVR, we’re able to get a better idea of how the upcoming Valve’s Knuckles controllers will look like!

Last week there has been the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). Before that, everyone was waiting this exhibition, expecting some big news about VR.

Another episode of my devlog, where I talk about my adventure in trying to develop a little game with my game designer Max (if you missed last episode, you can find it here). Today is like the last episode, I’ll tell you why. Max has come to my office and has tried by himself the […]
Yesterday I’ve published my post announcing some big news about Leap Motion. The most important of them is that Leap Motion is now completely focused in being embedded into standalone virtual reality headsets (particularly the ones implementing the Snapdragon 835 reference design) and no more in selling controllers. This will mean that its new and […]
I’ve just written a long post on Medium with all my speculations about when we’ll see the next generation of VR headsets. I know, I know, speculating is bad… but, let’s be honest, we all love doing it. In this post I’ll try to start from all the premises we know at present time and […]
In December, Leap Motion has announced a new hardware, its 2nd generation version, with a companion mobile faceplate, that suited perfectly onto GearVR headsets. We were all super-excited about it, thanks to the amazing specifications: 180°x180° tracking, improved tracking distance (beyond arm length), improved tracking and so on. We were all waiting for the moment […]
In the last days I’ve had the pleasure of having a talk about VR videos recording and streaming with MANDT VR, an US company which is very active in this field. They have recorded videos for important companies like Disney or the Pittsburgh Steelers, so surely they’re very good in what they do. The thing […]
Yesterday everyone was excited in talking about Apple entrance in the AR/VR world, while I was actually excited by another news: the upgrade of Lighthouse tracking of SteamVR.
