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.

As you likely know, one of AR’s foundational principles is to fuse the digital and physical. The real world is a key part of that formula… and real-world relevance is often defined by location. That same relevance and scarcity are what drive real estate value….location, location, location. Synthesizing these factors, one of AR’s battlegrounds will be in augmenting the world in location-relevant ways.

One of the branches of VR that sees the most attention and investment from enterprises is training. The thought is that VR’s immersive qualities can instill greater knowledge retention and memory encoding. It continues to outperform legacy approaches such as print manuals.

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?
