Among Us VR (2022), the standalone VR version of the hit party game, just got a new map called Polus Point. Just in time for mass heat waves comes Polus Point, a decidedly chilly (and sometimes hot) addition to Among Us VR. The studios say the new map includes over 50% more tasks, including a contraption called ‘THE CLAW’, nine new rooms for hidden objects, new kill and ejection animations, and snowstorms.

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.

Meta’s Quest 2 VR headset users may now access Roblox in an open beta. Indeed, it’s now available via the headset’s Quest Store or Meta’s App Lab. From there, it’s simple to sign in and explore. However, it’s seemingly not yet possible to kickstart an account through Quest – as a post on the Roblox developer forum suggests. Once it’s out of Beta, this will likely change, yet keen-eyed players have already spotted additional issues that developers may soon wish to mop up.
