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.

A Quest 3 charging dock just got approved by the US FCC. Meta hasn't yet officially announced a charging dock for Quest 3, or even said that either the headset or controllers will support either wireless or contact-based charging. Renders and images of Quest 3 clearly show three gold dots on the bottom of the headset though, which strongly resemble the pins the Quest Pro headset and controllers use to charge on the included dock.

Kluge Interactive CEO Arturo Perez confirmed to UploadVR the studio is exploring Synth Riders hand tracking support. In a snippet from an upcoming interview we'll publish soon, we asked whether Kluge's future plans include supporting Apple Vision Pro. Perez expressed interest, saying, "we'd like to, but we'll see. We have to see how it translates." Since Vision Pro doesn't support traditional controllers, we then questioned future hand tracking support for Synth Riders.
