The day before yesterday, for the first time in my life, I had the opportunity to sit down with Philip Rosedale and spend some time with him. Philip is now back as CTO of Linden Lab (hence, of Second Life), so for me it was also the occasion of visiting the offices of the first […]
I guess you’ve heard it: the funniest experience on the AWE showfloor was “Anywhere Bungee VR” by the Japanese company Logilicity. Of course, I’ve tried it. I want to tell you more about this experience, and I’ll also try to analyze why it was so interesting for everyone. Anywhere Bungee VR Anywhere Bungee VR is […]
A big hello from Cupertino, the city of Apple, here in the Silicon Valley! I’ll stay here a week to have meetings before going to Berlin to be a mentor at XRCC. I hope my time in the Bay Area will be nice, after the troubled week at AWE (I got sick during the event […]
On my last day at AWE, one of the most interesting hands-on sessions that I had was with XelerateVR, a treadmill to walk in VR. It was not in the list of things that I wanted to try, but my friend Marcus advised me to have a look, and I have to say that it […]
After more than 5 years that I’ve been dreaming about it, I’ve finally been able to try the Infinadeck, the omnidirectional treadmill that seems taken from Ready Player One. Here are my first impressions from my short session with it at AWE! [As usual, since I’ve just tested the device once for a few minutes, […]

During my trip to China, one of the most interesting things was visiting the Chinese headquarters of Play For Dream (the company is actually based in Singapore, but has a strong presence in Shanghai). There, I have been able to ask the company some interesting questions about their present and their future. Among these questions, […]
Today is the day we celebrate the Italian Republic, so theoretically I should be on holiday, but actually I’m here, writing this article to inform you about the most interesting things that have happened in XR in the past week! As usual, I will be very informative for you all, my human readers, but it seems […]
I’m back in Italy, after my two-week trip to China (where I had a troubled story with my Quest). I’m happy to be back eating pasta, but I will miss the small restaurants with delicious Asian food that I had close to my place in Shenzhen. Now I’m staying a bit here, and then, as […]
I am back in Italy after another interesting trip to China. You may have read some of my experiences with Chinese XR devices in my previous articles (like this one), and you will read a lot more in the next few days (e.g. be prepared for my review of the Play For Dream MR headset!). […]
Hello from Shenzhen, China! This is the last city of my Chinese trip, and together with some very interesting discussions I’m having with people here and some new great friends I’m making, I’m also enjoying a lot of Chinese food, since my B&B is in a part of the city full of small local restaurants.
