AWE 2022 is being crazy for all the people I’m meeting. And everyone is asking me the same question: “Hey Tony, what is the thing that I should absolutely try at this AWE?” and from this afternoon, I always ask the same thing: Magic Leap 2. Let me explain to you why. Magic Leap 2 hands-on. I just had two quick demos of a few minutes each with Magic Leap 2, so of course, I’m not able to write a complete review for you , but just a first impressions article.

Yesterday, June 2, was the second day of AWE. The second day of AWE is always dominated by the opening of the expo floor. But, that wasn’t all that happened. The day also included keynotes, engaging panel discussions, and a play that could only debut at AWE. Mainstage Keynotes. AWE day two started off with back-to-back keynotes from mixed reality display maker Magic Leap and AR commerce solution Avataar.

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.

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?
