I am still working on my full review of the Pico Neo 3 Pro , and while doing my tests on it, I have tried what is probably its most surprising feature, that is tethering to the DisplayPort port of a PC to offer a PCVR experience. Let me tell you everything about it because I think it’s super-interesting (and I don’t say this lightly). Watch the video here below where I show you everything on this DisplayPort cable, from the unboxing to the setup, to the tests in SteamVR, or keep read

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.

Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
