Epson’s latest wearable devices can connect to your smartphone, tablet, and computer. Epson already has a solid lineup of AR smart glasses with their Moverio series, each designed for enterprise use. That lineup is about to get larger with the addition of two new next-generation AR glasses, the Moverio BT-40 and BT-40S. Much like the company’s earlier Moverio BT models, the BT-40 and the BT-40S feature a slim binocular display allowing users to see and interact with the AR content.

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.

My experience with First Contact Entertainment’s fast-paced multiplayer shooter Solaris could’ve ended there because I very much don’t like to die and that’s all I seemed capable of. Fortunately every time I died, I heard encouraging words coming through my headset from a team of veteran players who informed me that somehow I had been dropped into a high rank game with two of the top Solaris teams.

Terrific tools in PowerPoint along with visual assets help you create the kind of dynamic content you need to capture your remote audience’s attention, with functions that allow for interactive sequences and navigation.

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?
