Nissan is taking a new approach to their vehicle design process that will involve using VR and HaptX’s realistic haptic feedback technology to give designers the ultimate freedom of physically holding and manipulating 3D models in a virtual space. HaptX’s Glove technology uses a series of sensors and 130 tactile actuators to give you a full tactile experience that provides realistic touch throughout your hand

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?
