Vive trackers plus a rescue robot equals the coolest puppet in existence. There are very few terms associated more closely with science fiction than “VR” and “robots.” The two technologies have long been considered the future of entertainment and convenience. So when a project comes along that manages to merge the two fields you can be sure futurists are going to take notice.

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.

When games insufficiently deliver on critical features, modders tend to fill in the gaps with their own solutions—part and parcel of the gaming world. Doing exactly that, but for the Oculus Store, a third-party website finally lets you filter the store’s content by every Rift game currently on sale and even see every free Rift experience neatly listed from A to Z.

While Sony’s PSVR headset for their PS4 console has helped lower the pricing barrier of entry to the world of VR gaming, the fact remains that many people still have yet to experience VR. These people, in turn, have little incentive to pay a couple hundred dollars to get that experience. Fortunately, the industry is aware of this problem. VR arcades are popping up all over the place, offering a way to experience VR for the first time without spending hundreds, if not thousands of dollars o

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.

In sitting down to recap my experience at Esalen for Digital Raign’s Reality Summit II, I’m reminded of a feeling I had last year around this time: How do I write about this ? It’s such a strange, wonderful, and unexpected gathering, and so unlike anything you typically encounter in tech circles, it can feel daunting to try to sum it up in brief.
