Today I have a cool announcement to make… but before let me wish all the women in XR a fantastic International Women’s Day! I love about this community that is very inclusive. In these 8 years that I have worked in the AR/VR ecosystem I have had the luck of meeting some amazing women that […]
As always in January I like to play the speculation game and make my personal predictions for augmented and virtual reality for the new year (2022, in this case). The difference between the two is becoming always more blurred, but for this year I prefer keeping them separate because they still have different markets. I […]
Today I host a guest post from Immersive Reality, a UK-based company that immerses its users inside environments without the use of VR headsets, but projecting the images of the virtual worlds on the walls of a room. I’ve found it interesting because they also use this setup to help children with certain disabilities that […]
One of my favorite demos at AWE has been with Ekto VR boots, which have probably been the craziest devices that I’ve tried during the expo… and I totally loved them for it! Ekto VR Locomotion in VR is still an unsolved problem. Apart from the software solutions (e.g. teleportation, smooth locomotion), there are a […]
Pico today announced the release of Pico Neo 3 Pro and Pico Neo 3 Pro Eye, its latest enterprise standalone headsets, to the Western markets. I have just received the Pico Neo 3 Pro directly from Pico Interactive (thanks!) and after some quick tests, I’m ready to give you some brief first impressions about it, […]
Many people on social media advised me to try The Muse concert inside the new virtual events platform Stageverse… and so I did. I have no time today to write a full review for you (stay tuned on the HitMotion: Reloaded blog to discover why!), but I thought it could be interesting to write some […]
Some days ago, Facebook has surprisingly launched Horizon Workrooms, its solution to offer remote business meetings in virtual reality. The launch has been seasoned with the usual fluff about the metaverse and Zuckerberg has said that people at Facebook have already been using this product for their meetings for months. VR journalists have tried it […]
Today Rezzil has just launched on the Oculus Quest Store “Player 22”, a VR experience meant to make people stay fit at home with training sessions inspired by the ones that professional sports athletes follow. How is it good? Discover it in today’s review! Player 22 Rezzil is a company that works on training professional […]
Yesterday night I have tried The Secret Of Retropolis, a VR game inspired by LucasArts’s point and click adventures developed by indie studio Peanut Button. The studio is composed of three developers that say they have no money for marketing and need help promoting their game. This looked like a job for the SkarredGhost, who […]
Some days ago, the pioneer Virtual Human Interaction Lab in Stanford headed by the legend Jeremy Bailenson has published on Steam an experience called “Virtual Becomes Reality: A Stanford VR Experience”, that emulates the tour usually offered in-person in the physical location of Stanford. And I tried it for you. The Stanford VR Tour The […]
As I promised you in my latest Week Peek, I’m writing an editorial to share with you my thoughts about what has just happened with Onward, and why this may be a negative turning point for PC VR, that in the end may even disappear from the consumer market. Let’s start from Onward… Onward on […]
