The hype for the Apple Pro is starting to deflate and it is possible to see that from some cues: for instance, there are more critics of the headset and fewer articles are talking about it. It’s still the gadget of the moment, but a bit less shiny than before. Honestly, I’m glad about that, I was getting bored from reading only articles about it. Before getting into the interesting XR news of the week, I invite you all to attend the new Awe Nite that Cecilia Lascialfari and I are organizing for

The extended reality landscape has come a long way since Virtualware, a pioneer in virtual reality solutions, first launched back in 2003. When Unai Extremo and Sergio Barrera decided to create a VR company, focused on supporting practical use cases, concepts like the metaverse, enterprise VR, and even industrial XR were virtually non-existent. Twenty years later, the company is now one of the world’s most recognized virtual reality companies, and one of the biggest names in the European VR mark

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. 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.

The developer of early demos for the Rift DK1 and DK2 has brought one of modern consumer VR’s very first demo experiences to Apple Vision Pro — Proton Pulse. Justin Moravetz initially released a Proton Pulse demo to the Oculus forum in April 2013 in the days before Oculus Share. The demo arrived just as DK1 was shipping to Kickstarter backers. Moravetz was still employed at Sony at the time, causing him some grief later, but he was on the path to becoming an indie VR developer.

Walmart is no stranger to adopting new technologies and embracing transformation. You don’t get to be the world’s largest retailer by stubbornly sticking to the “this is how we’ve always done it” mindset. As such, there’s a lot that other organizations – retailers and otherwise – can learn from Walmart. Particularly when it comes to generative AI. Walmart has been busy integrating generative AI right across the business, using the transformative technology to drive performance and deliver a bett

Although I like to write about future predictions for the world of technology and business, I’m usually focused on what’s coming up in the next five years. That’s because the companies I advise on data and tech strategy want to know what they should do now – or very soon – to leverage the opportunities of digital transformation. But it’s also worth taking a longer view.

While last year was all about chatbots and image generators, this year, generative AI tools that help us create and edit videos are all the rage. Now, these aren’t (yet) as advanced as AI image generators, so don’t think you can just type “make a new Star Wars movie,” and it will create a blockbuster for you. Instead, what they do is automate many of the tasks involved in video editing, such as cutting footage to insert, re-ordering scenes, adding audio effects, generating captions, and adding a

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?

One of the frustrations with ChatGPT (and other generative AI chatbots) is that they don’t remember what we’ve said to them in previous sessions. This means starting from scratch with each new chat, teaching it about yourself, your business or anything you want it to know that it won’t find in its training data or through web browsing. Well, it looks like all that is about to change.
