However, there are myriad other use cases and XR education is one of the most promising. Here, we’re going to look at some of the most exciting and out-of-the-box examples of XR education, ranging from K-12 through university and beyond.

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.

These two technologies fall within the digital umbrella of something called “immersive tech.” Allow us to de-jargon this bit for you – technologies falling within the immersive domain excessively engage or absorb the viewer.

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?

A very beefy CPU is a nice touch as well if we want to keep the GPU fed. Plenty of memory, lots of storage, and maybe lots of ports for expansion.
