Google’s latest experiment brings YouTube tutorials to life using AR. If you’ve ever watched an art tutorial on YouTube, you know the struggle of trying to follow along with an artist while simultaneously working on your own work. Constantly looking up at the screen and back down at your own creation is not only a cumbersome educational process but an ineffective one as well.

Apple has been continuously iterating on ARKit , its augmented reality development tool that lets creators make smartphone-based AR experiences. The company unveiled ARKit at its World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) in 2017, and the 2.0 version at the dev conference a year later. Now, a report from 9to5Mac holds that this year’s WWDC could see yet more new additions, including OS support for stereo AR headsets.

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.

OrbusVR has been in Early Access for a little over a year now, and with the entrance of its first expansion Reborn , the VRMMORPG is finally launching as a full game. This was my first opportunity to scratch the surface of the new world that lay before me, and I don’t think it will be my last. I’ll be honest: I haven’t played much of the original OrbusVR.

Remote meetings are here to stay - and many are BORING. If you are trying to engage your learners (or any audience), compelling content is critical.
