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.

Quest 3's microphone has the same popping problem as Quest Pro - an issue that isn't present in Quest 2. Quest 3 and Quest Pro have a much thinner visor than Quest 2, thanks to the use of pancake lenses which require a shorter gap between them and the display panels. That's advantageous for design and ergonomics, but may be contributing to a microphone quality issue.

Quest 3's charging dock promises to make Meta's latest headset as convenient as possible - but is it really worth $130? The included charging dock was one of our favorite aspects of last year's Quest Pro. In our review , we said it "becomes an essential part of the hardware in the same sense charging cases did for wireless earpods". Having your headset on a dock means you can jump into virtual or mixed reality as soon as you want.

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?
