The Reverb was already a very good headset (as you can read in my hands-on impressions ) with good comfort and an astonishing resolution, but it had some problems with the display (mura, red smearing) and with the controllers (classical mediocre WMR tracking).

Facebook already had full control of my Oculus and Facebook accounts, so it had already my XR data. That’s why Avi Bar-Zeev in a tweet on this topic talked about “the illusion of control” of our data : actually, Facebook already had it all. Zuckerberg wrote in a letter some years ago that he wants full control of the XR platform.

I’m in Italy again and here in these days, it is damn hot and wet. One of the major complains are in the controllers, whose thumbsticks do not “click” when the stick is not in upright position (and some assistance guy from Valve even defined it as a feature, lol). Anyway, it has not been that useless either…. Top news of the week.

As a long-time AR enthusiast, and one of the first to have tried Google Glass in Italy, I have to admit that I will consider AR mainstream only when it will be on glasses that we will wear all day , when we’ll live in a completely shared mixed reality world (the AR Cloud). Some will also feature tracked controllers.

It’s a sunny lockdown day here in Italy, the sun is shining and the trees are blossoming. If we exclude the major tech companies (Facebook, Valve, etc…) and the meteor Magic Leap, this is the first VR company to reach this status, and this is another sign of the health of the virtual reality ecosystem.

It’s hot and the drought is creating some issues here in northern Italy. For this Business Edition the company will also supply a 3DOF controller to use with the device.

And this is even truer for countries that are not at the cutting edge of technology : what is new in Italy, is probably old in the US. I answered many of them that it was a nonsense , because no developer would spend 8 hours a day with a headset on waving controllers in the air. Remember that, when thinking about your business.
