Its product consists of a small add-on, called ION, that can be attached to the lower part of VR headsets thanks to some velcro straps that go all around the device and that can emit little particles of perfume to let you smell

I am annoyed that most people think of the metaverse within defined platforms like Facebook Meta, or for that matter any competing software, when in reality it is supposed to be a ubiquitous digital ecosystem. Pick your poison the red pill or the blue, this is a nice way to demonstrate that different platforms or options enable access to what is being described as the metaverse.

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.

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?
