If you haven’t heard, Oculus screwed up pretty badly yesterday when they let a software certification expire, leaving Rift owners without access to any of their games for a full day. Thankfully, there’s a fix now , but the company is still trying to smooth things over by throwing $15 Oculus Store credit (or local equivalent) to Rifters. Eligibility is based on whether you’ve used your Rift on or after February 1st, 2018.

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.

We take a closer look at what the genre of magic has to offer us hopeful wizards, as we visit exciting enchanted lands and get closer to the feeling of having magical powers than ever before thanks to VR. Our selection of games has a lot of variety to offer, be it the control and feel, the visceral combat or game modes. From the already highly rated ‘The Unspoken’ to ‘The Wizards’ which is just out of early access, there should be something here for any fan of the genre.

Are you a fan of the Oculus Rift? Statistics indicate that if you’re reading this article, you probably are. Unfortunately for fans of the Rift, their favorite VR headset stopped working today. Attempts to use the Oculus Rift in any applications have failed, meaning that these $400+ VR headsets are, as of today, effectively worthless. Oculus is scrambling for a fix to this issue, but this begs two big questions: What happened.
