ARPost isn’t explicitly interested in blockchain and cryptocurrencies. However, we are interested in virtual worlds. And, digital currencies and secure data management make a lot of sense in virtual worlds. Zilliqa is a layer-one blockchain with its own native token and a recently-launched virtual world called “ Metapolis.” To learn more about this integration between XR and blockchain, we talked with Zilliqa’s Head of Metaverse and NFTs, Sandra Helou.

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.

Because AR’s inherent function is to enhance the physical world, its relevance is often tied to specific locations. This is what we call geo-local AR. It’s all about AR experiences whose value is tied to locations. We’re talking informational overlays on storefronts and waypoints. If this sounds familiar, it’s the foundational principle behind the AR cloud?

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?
