Virtual events and meetings are the topic of the moment. As a consultant, I am receiving many requests for remote collaboration tools now during the lockdown, and with my partners Massimiliano Ariani and SIDI, I am also hosting some workshops in VR. For this reason, I gained a good expertise in immersive collaboration tools, and […]
I’ve had the great pleasure of speaking with Lars Bergstrom, a very smart professional that with the Mixed Reality team at Mozilla works every day to improve the WebXR platform, working for a future immersive web that preserves our privacy and doesn’t clutter us with banners and fake news. He provided me very interesting insights […]
To celebrate the release of WebXR API 1.0, Mozilla has released an experience called “Hello WebXR”, that should serve to introduce newbies to VR, showing them basic VR interactions and capabilities.

Some of the people working at A-frame at Mozilla have started a project for a new WebVR browser called Supermedium. Now that it is available for everyone on the Oculus store and on SteamVR, I’ve been able to give it a try and I’m going to report you my first impressions about it.
One of the biggest news of the last days is that finally, Google Chrome for Windows has added support for WebVR. It was absurd that Google, that is pushing on WebVR and WebAR (let’s say WebXR and we’re all happy, apart from Charlie Fink that hates the term XR), wasn’t supporting it in its famous […]
Do you remember my post on Medium about the typical day of an augmented reality developer? It was a satirical piece in which I described all the hurdles I found while developing with a new device like HoloLens: I loved and I still love Hololens, but developing with it means encountering bugs and limitations of […]
In my review of Amazon Sumerian I said multiple times that in other game engines, like Unity, it is not possible to create a WebVR experience. Well, just some days after that article, I’ve been proved wrong. Actually it is possible and I’ll explain you how.
