Merry Christmas and Happy 2024! (+my Santa Wish List)

One of the traditions of this blog is my usual greeting message for the Winter Holidays… and this year could not be an exception. So, if you celebrate Christmas, I wish you would spend a wonderful day with your family, feeling joy, happiness, and human warmth. I hope you will receive wonderful gifts and that Santa Claus will surprise you with what you always wanted. If you don’t celebrate Christmas, well, I still wish you a wonderful day, maybe with fewer gifts, but still cool. And then I wish you all a wonderful 2024, in which all your dreams can come true. I love being part of this community, and I really hope that all of you can have a bright future.

The Ghost Howls turns 6!

Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t know how I reached this point, but today my blog becomes 6 years old! The Ghost Howls started as a way to promote my startup Immotionar, and I had no idea someone could be interested in reading what I had to write. 6 years later, I’m still unsure why people read me (and at this point, I’m too afraid to ask), and I’m still unsure for how long I will be able to keep this blog alive, considering that my daily job is becoming more and more tiresome. The future is always uncertain, especially in these crazy ’20s, so I just focus on the present, and enjoy this remarkable achievement. 6 years and more than 1000 articles written. Wow… if I think about it, it is impressive. 6 years waiting for the Apple headset that is always “going to be released next year”™; 6

Happy XR Winter Holidays 2021!

It’s that time of the year again where I wish you great Winter Holidays! I can’t believe another year has passed by… and it’s been a crazy one for XR. We had the Quest making strides, new intensifying rumors on the Apple headset, a partial reveal of PSVR, Bytedance entering the field with Pico, Valve that may be working on a standalone headset, and many other things happening. We had insane news about people spending $50K to buy a JPEG of a monkey that anyone can copy-paste. But especially we had all the M-word hype that happened as soon as Zuck renamed Facebook as Meta. Everyone now is talking about the “metaverse”, even if no one knows what it means. And everyone invents names that end in -verse, like the twinverse, the gameverse, the musicverse, and other similar abominations. That’s why I wanted to go full dystopia and I coined
