I want to dedicate this newsletter to the memory of Rob Crasco, one of the best members of our communities, which has gone away too soon. He has always been supportive of me, and by speaking with him on Twitter and Linkedin I’ve always learned something new. He will be missed by all of us. On the last Twitter post on his timeline, there is a GoFundMe campaign to support his wife, in case you want to be of any help. May he rest in peace. Top news of the week (Image by Upload)Upload VR Winter Showcase brought many pieces of news about VR games Upload VR has organized another one of its amazing VR game showcases. In this one, there have been many news about VR titles, some of which are distributed by relevant companies in our industry, and others made by indies. None of the news announced there has been

Yesterday I discovered that a friend of mine wants to propose as “Vitillo’s law” or “Skarred’s law” the law that every innovative technology we are waiting for is always coming in “5 to 10 years”. I would love for that to become an official Murphy’s law, but I’m sure that even if the XR community started adopting it now, the law could become popular only in 5 to 10 years…  That said, let’s dig into the pieces of XR news of this week, which has been pretty interesting… Top news of the week (Image by Sony Interactive Entertainment)Sony announces price and release date for PSVR 2 Sony Interactive Entertainment has finally announced that PSVR 2 will be launched on February 22nd, 2023 for $549.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE! Even if it is not part of the Italian tradition, probably Halloween is the right festivity for me, since I’m a ghost :). And in fact, for me, this one has been a pretty cool week: HTC Vive has selected me as one of the top 100 VR influencers (whatever this word means), Adello magazine featured me in its online publication, and today my company Vrroom will be a host of the afterparty of the Unity Unite event, with a concert of Blu DeTiger inside VRChat (Look for Unite2022 tag and you’ll find the world). So many exciting things are happening and I’m thankful to you all for the support you are giving me ❤ Top news of the week (Image by Meta)Quest Pro launches, but the reaction of the community is mild On October, 25th, the Meta Quest Pro has been officially launched, and the people who preordered it

This has been the week of the Meta Connect, which brought with it many important announcements. I thought that there could be nothing else to say in this roundup apart from the Connect, while actually, digging into the various XR magazines and social media feed, I have been able to find a lot of interesting little news, which I’m reporting to you.  By the way, today I travel to Lisbon to attend AWE Europe, where I will be the moderator of a panel about sustainability in XR and Web3. If you are going, too, let me know and maybe we will be able to meet! If you are not going, well, expect to read some articles on mine about the hardware that I will try there, so you will feel as if you have been there, too… and I will also eat and review some delicious pasteis de nata for you :D.
