During AR's early days when mainstream penetration is still low, is the industry creating additional barriers through terminology? Consumers practically need a translator to decipher the alphabet soup of the XR world. We examine the evidence. This post appeared first on AR Insider.

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?
