Today I host another fantastic guest post written by VR ergonomics expert (and friend of mine) Rob Cole. Rob is a big fan of PCVR (he even tried to design a new SteamVR controller , do you remember?) and recently he had the opportunity to go hands-on with the high-resolution Pimax Crystal headset. He wanted to write on my blog his opinion on this device to inform the community and of course I accepted, because I’m more than happy to host another one of his super-detailed articles.

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.
