The Quest 3, codenamed Eureka, has a totally different look than previous Quest headsets and lets you add a digital skin to your real-world environment, according to a new report by Bloomberg. At the moment it seems like Apple is having its magic moment in the spotlight with rumors that Tim Cook and Co are finally set to launch an official consumer XR headset.

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.

Rheingold describes awe — even surprise — that the system was still operable almost 30 years after its introduction. “I was transported to the driver’s seat of a motorcycle in Brooklyn in the 1950s,” the author writes.

Leap Motion 2 is a $140 accessory that adds ultra high quality hand tracking to PC VR and standalone headsets. The original Leap Motion was a desktop hand tracking accessory launched in 2014 that could be mounted to the front of early modern VR headsets like the Oculus DK2. It brought hand tracking to VR before most users even had access to motion controllers.

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?
