For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

As Palmer Luckey put it , Apple could make AR & VR "something everybody wants before it's something that everybody can afford." If there one thing Vision Pro hands-on impressions have proved, it's that Meta didn't have the wrong idea with Quest Pro; the problem was its poor execution.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
