Our stand at the WTT event was a huge success! They have been two very very intense days, full of joy, confusion, satisfaction and hard work. A lot of people tried our solution… and most of them were satisfied. Gianni’s workshop was sold out and positively reviewed. We’ve meet a lot of people, a lot of innovators and made new friends.

Welcome to the last episode of this post serie!

The time has come… and we are almost ready for the show. These are frenetic days in which we are doing a lot of things: like preparing slides (we’ll have a public talk about our company and a workshop about VR development!), finalizing the demos (have you seen the picture of the beautiful avatar you can impersonate in our demo?), cutting away features we hadn’t the time to implement, inviting people, writing posts on our blog … and getting really mad :-)

ImmotionAR, a division of Beps Engineering, has the pleasure to invite all of you to the WTT exhibition here in Turin, Italy, on November 20-21.

What we will do:

• We will make people try our prototype solution for immersivity in a virtual world, that uses Kinect sensors and an Oculus Rift / GearVR headset
• Gianni will make a speech about VR and our solutions and will hold a workshop about how to develop applications for Virtual Reality using Unity 3D, replicating his successful Virtual Reality course available on Pluralsight

Why come and visiting us:

Goooood morning to all you Immotiofans! Were you wondering what we made during this week? Great! Keep reading and you’ll know!

Last week Gianni was in the U.S. to attend the Microsoft MVP Summit in Seattle (if you don’t know what a Microsoft MVP is, read this). He learned a lot talking with other members of the Microsoft community and dev teams and visited a lot of interesting labs. He showcased live our solution for the first time and obtained some good feedbacks! Hope this will be the first one of a lot of successful exhibitions!

Hello everyone! I’m writing from Turin, Italy, while my startup buddy is in the USA to showcase our solution in a private exhibition in Seattle, Washington (as we told you in a previous post). I miss him a bit, but luckily he’ll be back next week, maybe with good news for us!

Hello everyone!

This last week has been very very hard and challenging for us. We are currently doing a lot of things:

大家好 and welcome to the 4th episode of this blog serie about our preparation for the WTT exhibition! (If you miss older episodes, you can begin from here).

This week we’ve another great announcement for you all: our Kinect-based virtual reality solution will be showcased at a private tech event at the beginning of November.

Hi everyone! Today I have great news for you all: all work scheduled for the past week by me and Gianni has been completed!

Gianni has made a great work: now all the Kinect system is able to auto-configure itself in every situation: you can add a Kinect sensor, remove it, put on fire all the system… and after some seconds, voilà! It can work again without the user pressing even a single key. Very cool, isn’t it? Besides that, all communications have been optimized, so the frame rate and bandwith are almost optimal, now.

Hi everyone! How has it been your weekend? I hope well…I’ve relaxed a bit, after a week of work.

In the past week, in preparation for WTT, we’ve bought some fancy hardware for the demo. First of all, we bought an additional Microsoft Kinect needed for our tracking solution. Then, we bought some fantastic covers for our Oculus Rift and Gear VR from Bangkok (http://vrcover.com/)! But… what is a cover for the Oculus Rift?

Hi to all! As promised, I’ll update you about our work in preparation for the WTT here in Turin.

First of all, we bought some fantastic Kinect stands! As a colleague of ours says: "they’re like selfie sticks, but for Kinect" :-) You can see one of them in the photo in this post! Stands are very useful to put Kinect sensors at a certain height above the floor, in an elegant way. Until now, we used card boxes: they are great for lab experiments, but very unelegant and unreliable for a public place use.
