Today I have a cool announcement to make… but before let me wish all the women in XR a fantastic International Women’s Day! In Italy today is popular to gift women a bunch of mimosa flowers or even this beautiful mimosa cake (Image by Giallo Zafferano). I love about this community that is very inclusive. In these 8 years that I have worked in the AR/VR ecosystem I have had the luck of meeting some amazing women that are really smart and passionate and that are helping our ecosystem t

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.

This has been an action-packed year for AR & VR as the world slowly emerges from the grips of a pandemic. Moreover, 2021 was marked by the emergence of metaverse mania. Though it has legitimate principles and promise, the term has been ambiguated through overuse.

Specifically, Muffett wrote that he'd helped the company launch a censorship-resistant way for users to access the social media platform — even if government officials in, say, a country like Russia, wanted to

In 2020, AMD released a new series of workstation-focused processors under its Threadripper umbrella, aptly named the Threadripper Pro series. These chips were essentially true workstation versions of AMD's EPYC server processors, offering the same massive core counts and high memory bandwidth as AMD's high-performance server platform. By introducing Threadripper Pro, AMD carved out an explicit processor family for high-performance workstations, a task that was previously awkwardly juggl

It was not the briefest event Apple has ever held; that distinction goes to 2021's 50-minute unintentional self-parody. But at a mere 58 minutes, the "peek performance" unveiling was all business, without so much as a $19 cloth or a Craig Federighi dad joke to make us chuckle and/or roll our eyes. Gone were the themes of the past: no hymn to California ; no 420 references ; barely any zooming in, out or around the dystopian Apple spaceship.

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?
