The company wants to build a “military metaverse” that connects warfighters around the world. We’ve seen AR technology used for a wide variety of purposes over the years, from entertainment to education and everything in between. That said, RED 6’s synthetic air combat training might be the coolest use case to date. The company’s Airborne Tactical Augmented Reality System (ATARS) uses AR technology to simulate multi-aircraft dogfights by projecting virtual bogeys ov

The online dating scene has gone far from swiping right or swiping left. Today, there is a plethora of dating apps giving users unique experiences in finding someone new to connect with. In 2021, the number of worldwide dating app users breached the 300-million mark. Expect this number to rise even faster as more advanced technology paves the way for dating in the metaverse.

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.

In an ongoing shift away from a somewhat proprietary development environment on its first headset, Magic Leap has committed to bringing OpenXR support to its Magic Leap 2 headset later this year. Although Magic Leap 2 is clearly the successor to Magic Leap 1, the goal of the headsets are quite different. With the first headset the company attempted to court developers who would build entertainment and consumer-centric apps, and had its own ideas about how its ‘Lumin OS’ should handle

The metaverse continues to be cringeworthy in its overuse. But though it’s been conflated in marketing-speak, it does hold legitimate principles for our connected future. For example, though the common vision is online synchronous worlds, what about a “real-world metaverse?” So instead of an “embodied internet” (possibly involving VR), the real-world metaverse applies digital content to add meaning and depth to physical places and things (possibly involving AR).

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?
