London has some of the greatest art in the world and a lot of it is indoors. Historically, this hasn’t been a huge obstacle to visitors. However, many of these museums closed during the coronavirus pandemic. The Heart of London Business Alliance (HOLBA) set out to use AR art pieces to let viewers view art outdoors. In addition to being a great way to get around COVID closings, AR art is hugely accessible and makes the outdoors itself part of the context of various pieces.

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.

VR’s momentum continues to build.

We’ve also seen a strong overall start for VR in 2021. We continue to compile evidence to that effect. But going one level deeper, what market signals can serve as formula inputs to estimate Quest 2 sales specifically?

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?
