At I/O, Google presented its vision of Android XR. But the "Android XR" that runs on headsets is not the "Android XR" that runs on smart glasses. The name Android XR was actually first reported by Business Insider's Hugh Langley 18 months before Google officially revealed it. According to that report, Google internally called an operating system for headsets "Android XR", and a much simpler OS for glasses "Android micro XR".

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?
