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.

British hardware manufacturer VRGO first popped up on the virtual reality (VR) scene back in 2015 when the company launched a Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign for a novel locomotion device called the VRGO Chair. Back then VR developers were still wrestling with the best way to move in VR without making most people violently ill. VRGO had the simple idea of a Bluetooth connected chair with a rounded bottom, so players could shift their weight and move their virtual selves accordingly.

One of the great aspects of indie virtual reality (VR) developers is their desire to try something new, experimenting and being innovative to make themselves stand out from an ever-growing crowd.
