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.

Meta and Luxottica confirmed work on new smart glasses. The two companies collaborated on smart glasses that shipped last year, Ray-Ban Stories.

Quest Pro ‘s controllers have “up to” 8-hour battery life, Meta told UploadVR. Rumors circulated on Twitter and Reddit yesterday claiming the Touch Pro controllers, like the headset , have only a 1-2 hour battery life. This would have seriously hampered Quest Pro’s usability, as while the headset could be used with a portable battery via USB-C, the controllers can only recharge wirelessly by placing them on the included dock or sold-separately portable charger.

Meta Quest headsets are getting support for colocation. Colocation means having multiple headsets sharing the same physical play space with the same virtual coordinate space. Facebook showed off an “arena scale” prototype of this in late 2018, but no further development was shown since then. HTC’s Vive Focus 3 has supported location since last year , and it’s already being used in VR arcades.

Remote meetings are here to stay - and many are BORING. If you are trying to engage your learners (or any audience), compelling content is critical. But trying to create stimulating content with the same tools you’ve always had is hard, right? Thankfully, wrong! Terrific tools in PowerPoint along with visual assets help you create the kind of dynamic content you need to capture your remote audience’s attention, with functions that allow for interactive sequences and navigation.

Last year, I avidly watched Mark Zuckerberg and other senior Facebook executives at the Facebook Connect 2021 event, as they proudly announced that the company would be rebranding as Meta, and pivoting to go all-in on the metaverse. This year, I was too busy with my full-time job as a university librarian to watch the Meta Connect 2022 keynotes live, so instead, I read through the tech news media’s coverage of the event.
