Hello, everyone! Here in ImmotionAR we are always working on cutting-edge technology, so my buddy Gianni has bought a set of HTC Vive and let me try them! Cool, isn’t it? I’ll write you a review about my experience with them… so you’ll know how they are. Ready? Go! (If you’re in a hurry, read only the TL;DR at the end ;) ). Also, if you are curious about the Oculus Rift CV1, you can read our other review here!

The fourth edition of the Microsoft Embedded/IoT Conference, that, as every year, brings together all the Italian Microsoft Windows Embedded/IoT MVPs and the Microsoft Evangelists related to the IoT world, took place on Saturday May 7th, 2016 at Centro Direzionale in Naples (Italy), thanks to the sponsors MicrosoftBLEXINBEPS EngineeringInnovactiveadam| Factory and DotNet Campania and TinyCLR.it communities.

The day has been very interesting and many people participated. Above all, there has been a lot of interest for Virtual Reality and our ImmotionRoom project, which we setup since the morning to allow people test it (and, for the first time in public, with 4 Kinects and fully wireless)!

The Microsoft MVP Open Day is an event where MVPs can meet peers coming from Western Europe countries and networking and sharing is what it is all about! The MVP Open Day is also well-known among Corp (people from Redmond) and DX/Evangelist people. The Open Day event has a long and proud tradition in the worldwide Microsoft MVP community and, this year, Microsoft tried something different by having a Western Europe MVP Open Day event (Italy, Portugal, Spain) + Benelux and Scandinavian countries, organized in Rome (Italy) on April 29th.

Every year, some of us MVPs, present sessions to the others and, this year, together with Beppe Platania, I had the opportunity to present ImmotionRoom and our works with Virtual Reality.

Hello everyone! Today I’ll write a (long) review about my (short) experience with Razer OSVR, because I think there is so much attention about Oculus Rift and HTC Vive that we often forget that there are lots of other headsets here in this world. So, I’ll write a bit about OSVR. Ready… go? (If you’re in a hurry, read only the TL;DR at the end ;) ).

Welcome to the second episode of the Time Of Conundrum Lessons serie! Today’ll teach you how to take screenshots while using your Samsung Gear VR! 

Well, if you have a Samsung S6, you can use this trick and use essentially a Bluetooth or USB keyboard connected to your Gear VR and then press the "Print" key to make a screenshot and save it to the camera roll. But… if you, like me, have a Samsung Note 4? Or you don’t want to use a physical keyboard? Well, things become a little more nerdy… and you have to use adb inside the command line prompt. Ready for the nerdiness? Ok, let’s go!

Hello everyone! Today we come with a huge news for you all! Something that will revolutionize the world of virtual reality!

We have tried different headsets and controllers for our ImmotionRoom solution but were never really satisfied about them. And the specs of the upcoming products by Oculus and Vive are terrible in our opinion. So we contacted some manufacturers all around the world, and with our great technology skills, we designed a brand new set of products: the SockVR headset and the BananaVR controllers!

Hello everyone! How are you? Were you missing another post mortem of ours? With that Q&A structure that you like so much? Don’t worry, today I’ll provide you with a brand new one! :-)

As said in this postwe proposed as technical sponsors for the Global Game Jam 2016 event here in Turin (organized by Treatabit and T-union) because we wanted to see what developers think about our virtual reality solution and its related SDK. It has been a truly great experience, so we decided to write an article about it. Ready? Go!
