Like every year, during this event we have seen some important AR news, but not that many, since the event was more focused on mobile phones than immersive technologies. In my opinion, there are 3-4 pieces of news that are really worth a mention and I’m going to tell you about them in this post so that reading it you will have a clear picture of what has happened at MWC 2019 for what concerns XR.

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.

Irena Cronin called me last year. That call lead to the development of a new Spatial Computing Agency, Infinite Retina , which opens its doors today. Thought I’d give you a little detail behind what brought 20 people together, and offer the community to come together to define, for Wikipedia, what Spatial Computing is (Magic Leap has been popularizing the term, but we think it is bigger than just their form of augmented reality glasses).
