ABOUT

A Little Bit About Me

I began my career in Computer Graphics in Italy in the early 90s, primarily focusing on Graphic Design. In the early 2000s, I co-founded ‘Cube3D,’ one of the first 3D animation companies in Italy. I then relocated to Manchester, UK, in 2009 and joined Red Frog Digital, where I worked on several BBC series and feature films.

In 2011, I established the company’s core strategy and focus, namely Augmented Reality technologies.

The company released its first commercial Augmented Reality book apps in 2012, effectively starting “de facto” the Mobile AR Book Publishing Industry with the “iDinosaurAR” App, the first Mobile Augmented Reality Book companion App on the market.

Under my guidance, the Company has since won many prestigious international awards.

 

During the years I’ve been central to a number of significant developments such as the initial R&D of the Gear VR headset working directly with Samsung, Oculus and Qualcomm.

More recently I worked with AR glasses and multi-player AR games.


 In 2023, I have founded “The Hypercube – Digital Factory”. The company has already started working on its own Videogame and it’s actively working on several VR and AR Projects as well as creating Graphics and interactive apps for the filming industry.

 

My focus on quality and cutting-edge AR technologies has resulted in the company working with many of the world’s most successful brands including:

Jurassic World, Hasbro, Smurfs, Nickelodeon, Guinness World Records, Universal Pictures, ITV, Sainsbury’s and McDonald’s.
