The traditional educational process means a dry presentation of facts and putting theory into practice. Many generations have learned according to this “golden” formula. But there is one problem: this model doesn’t take into account the individual characteristics of students. Those with poor academic performance cannot memorize large amounts of information.

Electronic Head Actuation will have you turning the other cheek, whether you like it or not. A recently published paper from the University of Chicago shows how researchers are able to use electronic muscle stimulation (EMS) to manipulate a person’s head and assist them during VR and AR (augmented reality) experiences.

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.

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?
