The XR Week Peek (2021.09.20): Quest 2 Pro leaks, Xiaomi smartglasses, Half Dive headset, and more!

The XR Week Peek (2021.09.20): Quest 2 Pro leaks, Xiaomi smartglasses, Half Dive headset, and more!

This one is the last AR/VR news roundup for this summer! Here in Turin, the sun is shining, but the temperature is getting colder, and autumn is coming too fast. I think I’ll miss the joys of summer (and all the trophies that Italy has won), but at least I’ll be able to enjoy again […]

Oculus Quest Passthrough MR Hands-On Impressions

Oculus Quest Passthrough MR Hands-On Impressions

After Venice VR Expanded has come to an end, I have finally had the time to experiment with Oculus Quest AR Passthrough. I’ll make a tutorial for you about it next week (I know, you can’t wait to make a cube in passthrough AR), and today I want to tell you my opinion about it. […]

Goliath Review: a deep experience about psychosis

Goliath Review: a deep experience about psychosis

At the latest Venice VR Expanded, one of the experiences all the magazines are talking about is Goliath by ANAGRAM, which is narrated by the beautiful voice of Tilda Swinton.

Oculus Quest 2 Free Silicone Cover Review

Oculus Quest 2 Free Silicone Cover Review

Yesterday I have finally received at home the free Silicone Cover that we owners of an Oculus Quest 2 are entitled to receive because of the skin irritation that the Quest 2 gasket was giving to a limited number of people. And as with everything that happens to me, I thought it could have been […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.09.06): A week full of VR events, Chinese headsets are on the rise, and more!

This week came with two great pieces of news for me. The first one is that the bond between me and VRrOOm has become a bit more official, and we’ll keep innovating the virtual events sector together for a while. The second one is that we of New Technology Walkers have just launched our fitness […]

Horizon Workrooms review: nice, but not compelling for work yet

Horizon Workrooms review: nice, but not compelling for work yet

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 […]

The XR Week Peek (2021.08.23): Facebook launches Horizon Workrooms, Intel announces its graphics cards, and more!

大家好! These days are pretty hot here, but this doesn’t stop me from enjoying virtual reality. What I’ve not enjoyed is that SideQuest has removed The Unity Cube from its listing, stating that there were too many cubes there. I think that cubes are never enough… cubes are love, cubes are life. Before leaving to the […]

How I got started with virtual reality (and you can, too)

How I got started with virtual reality (and you can, too)

If I had to choose the most common question I’ve received in these 4 years on the blog, social media, and Quora, I would surely pick “How do I get started with virtual reality?”. Usually, the question is very vague and doesn’t even define exactly what is the sector of XR of interest. It comes […]
