With a greater demand for hyper-realistic immersive experiences , there has been a heightened increase in interest in spatial audio. After all, it is nearly impossible to recreate real environments into digital formats without satisfying one of the primary senses—the sense of hearing. The sounds we hear are crucial to the multisensory environment needed for compelling immersive worlds.

XR is quickly making its way into more aspects of our lives than ever before. What started as a novel concept, largely embraced by entertainment and gaming companies, has become a mainstream sensation. We’re using extended reality for everything from collaboration and communication to customer service and product development. Perhaps one of the most exciting avenues for the XR revolution, is the educational and training sector.

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.

Screen capture from GB Newsday live feed. I got the news over lunch at work, directly from the BBC website, that Queen Elizabeth II passed away. It is truly the end of an era. I had known from the very first reports this morning, that this was possible, of course. However, it seems almost unreal to me that, a mere two days earlier, she was standing in Balmoral castle in Scotland, welcoming her fifteenth U.K. prime minister.

When a major South Korean memory firm invests over $11 billion in a fab , that raises a couple of eyebrows. But when it comes within a major $100+ billion capital expenditure (CapEx) package , it certainly warrants some attention.

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?
