Star Citizen may be the world’s most ambitious Early Access project (and quite possibly the next textbook example of Development Hell ). For those still holding their breath, the company has recently affirmed that VR support is still planned as an eventual feature, and the game’s developers say that a new UI design is made with VR in mind.

ARKTIKA.1 , an Oculus exclusive due to launch later this year, is shaping up to be one of VR’s best looking games to date. You’ll take it as no surprise that the title is being developed by 4A Games , the developer behind the Metro series (and its stunning next installment, Metro Exodus ).

One of the most enjoyable accounts on Twitter in recent days has been @MadewithARKit , which curates some of the best new pieces of content created in Apple’s new ARKit toolbox. The possibilities for VR developers that want to use the technology are literally endless, and if you use Unity, it is very easy to move VR objects into ARKit. It’s also quick — you can make an object in a program like Google Blocks and then put it in ARKit, where it can interact with the real world.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results.

With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Nvidia keeps on raking in revenue from chips for artificial intelligence, game graphics, the Nintendo Switch game console, and self-driving cars. But we’ll have to listen to the conference call to find out if cryptocurrency mining also drove sales.

Not even the dancing hot dog can cheer up Snap’s cranky investors. Only a few minutes into Snap’s earnings call Thursday, Evan Spiegel mentioned the popular hot-dog filter his company introduced last month, saying it may be “the world’s first augmented reality superstar.”. But it was too late. Even a beloved luminary like the breakdancing hot dog couldn’t undo the gloom that had already settled on Snap’s earnings report , which missed revenue and net loss estimates only slightly but seemed to
