Valve launched Index with the goal of setting the bar for PC VR headsets to beat. And by many measures it accomplished that goal. Despite the $1,000 price tag and the headset’s age, Index remains the second most-used headset on Steam at 18.38% of active headsets on the platform (though a distant second to

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.

An upgrade of the previous CYBERCORE series, the CYBERCORE II series currently consists of just two 80Plus Platinum units, rated at 1.0 kW and 1.3 kW respectively. Within XPG's power supply lineup, the CYBERCORE II is their sub-flagship family; but you would be hard-pressed to tell just looking at the specifications.

With all of the excitement around artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation, are we too quick to assume that the answer to all of our problems lies in technology? And more importantly, are we so enthusiastic about turning towards technology -particularly AI – that we overlook the societal and human problems it can cause? This is the argument made by Meredith Broussard in her latest book More Than a Glitch – Confronting Race, Gender and Ability Bias in Tech.
