Bio

I work with virtual and augmented reality technologies since 2014, and in these years I have covered different roles in immersive realities, following important projects and getting prestigious awards. As a developer turned into an entrepreneur, I've been at first the co-founder of Immotionar, a startup focused on an innovative full-body virtual reality system, and then the co-founder of New Technology Walkers, a group of professionals that offer consultancies all around breakthrough technologies. The two most important projects that I've developed with these companies have been: - ImmotionRoom, a wireless full-body virtual reality solution using Kinects and VR headsets, that was already available at the end of 2014, when there were not even the hands in VR; - HitMotion: Reloaded, a mixed reality fitness game developed with the support of HTC, and one of the 20 launch titles of the HTC Vive Focus Plus. Together with this, I have helped develop many other AR/VR projects under NDA in various sectors from entertainment to industrial training for B2B customers. Recently, I've also started collaborating with VRrOOm for what concerns virtual festivals and concerts: the Venice VR Expanded festival we organized won the ''Best XR Event'' award by XR Must, while the New Year's Eve concert of Jean-Michel Jarre has been one of the most viewed events with more than 75M views worldwide. Since 2016 I have a blog called ''The Ghost Howls'' where I talk all around AR and VR. It has been chosen various times as one of the best 50 VR websites and I've been awarded by Onalytica as being one of the top 50 virtual reality influencers. I've spoken at important events like WCVRI, View Conference, and AWE and I've been featured on Forbes, Huffington Post, Road To VR, and Authority Magazine. I like all about augmented and virtual realities, and especially I believe a lot in the power of the community: if I can help someone else, I would always be pleased to do that. So if you would like to connect with me, I would be very happy about that :)
