Today I have the huge pleasure of publishing the interview I had with Jeff Basladynski, who you may probably know as “Bazitron” from Reddit. Baz has become a sort of legend in our community because he is doing god’s work by organizing large-scale VR installations inside events like comic-cons, making lots of people try VR […]
In my AWE preview article, I told you about Prehension AI, a startup developing an SDK to help developers implement hand gestures in their MR/VR applications. At AWE US, I’ve been able to get hands-on with it quickly, and these are my impressions. Prehension AI Prehension is a startup that offers a Unity SDK to […]
A couple of weeks ago, Meta announced a fully integrated agentic workflow for its Immersive Web SDK, claiming it lets creators vibe-code WebXR prototypes by just writing prompts. But does it work as advertised? Read my hands-on impressions to discover it! [Disclaimer: At a certain point in the post, I mention my Dell computer setup […]
In the last few weeks, I’ve often seen the community debating about what is the future of HTC Vive: once the market leader in VR, the company has lately been pretty silent about releasing new VR headsets. Instead of simply speculating, I directly contacted the company and spoke with a spokesperson about the present and […]
At United XR Europe last year, I had the occasion to try the scent emitter device by Scentient again. Today (with a bit of delay), I’m very happy to tell you about it. Scentient Scentient is a startup that aims to give people that sense of smell in an XR experience. The sense of smell […]
Today I have the huge pleasure to hosta new article by the amazing Rob Cole, which put his hands on a Pimax Crystal Super headset and performed a super (pun intended) deep-dive on it together with his powerful PCVR setup. I thank Rob a lot for this Christmas gift of this super-detailed post and I […]
When going around the expo area at UnitedXR, I was pretty surprised to find a standalone headset proposed by an Italian company… especially because I’m Italian and I did not know anything about it before. The company is called Youbiquo, and the headset is called Leonardo XR, and I’m going to tell you a few […]
The company winning the “Best In Show” award at United XR Europe has been Iralta with Skyjet VR, a product promising to let you live the experience of flying on a jetpack in virtual reality. Of course, it has been one of the first things that I’ve tried when I arrived at the expo, and […]
Today, I publish one of the most beautiful interviews I have done in these (almost) nine years as a blogger. I spoke with Tera Nguyen and Felipe Cartin from Wooster Games, the team behind the most successful Quest game: Animal Company. During the interview, we covered many insightful topics: for instance, we spoke about how […]
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 […]
It is a tradition of this blog that I write my holiday wishes for you every year at Christmas. I suspect that almost everyone is too busy celebrating to care about my greetings… but I’m happy to write them anyway! So let me wish you a wonderful Christmas, in case you celebrate it, or just […]
