Thougths on X-Reality
When I was 21 years old, I started watching an anime called Sword Art Online. This anime is based on a VRMMORPG (virtual reality massively multiplayer online role-playing game) with a great plot (also good soundtrack).
It inspired me, and made me dream a lot about a future like this:
“A future where everyone is connected, live and feel whichever life we want.”
This kind of premise is in fact polemical and may bring ethical and social issues to society as we know.
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are here, and give millions of new and innovative possibilities for every economic sector. This gave me motivation to start exploring these technologies. As far as I proceeded, I bumped into new ways of using and crossing VR/AR with other technologies like IoT, 5G, AI, Blockchain…well every tech tags we all heard about.
This is actually the more exciting part of VR/AR. You can literally use it with everything. Why? Because these techs are just an extra interface layer that can bring more productivity with less effort. That’s why I strongly believe (and it’s actually happening) that Smartphones are going to be obsolete.
Using glasses or even tiny lenses it’s going to become so natural and commom that we will remember smartphones as an old device humans used for some decades.

In the near future I believe that we’ll have the option to implement nanotech in our bodies that will allow us to see this “Mixed Reality Layer” so seamlessly that we’ll not be able to distinguish it from the “Reality” (that’s one of the social issues). Thinking on this type of future, gives me goosebumps of excitement, and motivation to contribute, and use it for good. For example: Virtual Reality can be used to raise awereness on climate change, showing how our forests, seas, and ecosystem are being destroyed, placing the “player” in a need of solving the problem.
Much of these thoughts are my motivation to be a pioneer of VR/AR, or as we often hear: MR/XR (Mixed Reality or X Reality). Personally, I like to use the XR acronym.
After lots of exploring, learning, testing, failing, thinking and testing again (still doing this cycle), and involved in a world of entrepeneurship and innovation, I decided to create a Startup (Dotesfera) focused on XR.
How naive I was to think that I’d create a Startup, be sucessfull and have enough money to invest in what I believe.
Having a company is a really difficult process to maintain for several reasons (team, finances, management, development, innovation, finances again…).
I learned a lot from these 3 years of “startuping”, fortunatly I met great people that really helped me go forward and hope to meet more.
But at least one thing I know: after these 3 years, this passion about XR is still present and growing. It’s great when your work is doing what you love, but you always have the other side of the coin, and you have to deal with it.
