Proto’s portal technology could bring holograms to the mainstream. Imagine being able to beam a lifelike hologram of yourself anywhere across the world in a matter of seconds. Sounds like something you might see in an episode of Star Trek. Contrary to popular belief, however, this technology is already here, and it’s pretty amazing. Los Angeles-based company Proto has developed technology that allows you to beam a full-body 4K hologram of yourself anywhere in the world through their

Since humans started stacking stones they’ve faced a problem: you can’t see a building before it’s built. If you’re just stacking stones, that’s not too big a problem. But, if you’re spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to have a new home constructed, you want to be sure that it’s exactly what you want. Augmented reality offers a new tool to solve this problem. homeAR, by Reactar Labs, is a “pre-build visualization platform” that lets property owners and developers take a virtual tour of a

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?
