Developed by Swiss startup Ostloong, the goggles feature GPS navigation, cellular data, and an HD camera, according to the official website.

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.

Since purchasing Oculus, Meta has made significant strides in the extended reality (XR) world. In recent years, the company has been investing heavily in its vision of the “metaverse”, exploring new ways to bring people together in a digital landscape through virtual, mixed, and augmented reality (VR/MR/AR). The Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro are just two examples of the latest immersive technologies offered by Meta.

It’s more than a bit disheartening to see essentially the same top PSVR game downloads repeated throughout the years, although here’s to hoping this may be the last time we utter the names Beat Saber, Job Simulator, and SUPERHOT VR in sequential order as the upcoming platform’s best-performing titles. The original PSVR has earned a well-deserved rest after more than six years of faithful service, no doubt.

Apple reportedly indefinitely postponed its AR glasses, but plans to eventually release a more affordable headset model. Glasses Shelved. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that standalone Apple Glasses had at one point years ago been planned for 2023. But this had been pushed back to 2025 – and now postponed “indefinitely” as the technology simply won’t be ready any time soon.

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.

When I was a kid, I wanted to build a holodeck — the immersive 3D simulation system from Star Trek, so I started making games, beginning with online multiplayer games for bulletin board systems. Eventually, I even got to make a massively multiplayer mobile game based on Star Trek that a few million people played. Although one feature of the holodeck — manipulating physical force fields — may remain the domain of science fiction — just about everything else is rapidly becoming technological reali

Sometimes, even the most precise, detailed, and informative written instructions aren’t enough to help a professional master a new skill.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
