Well, that was quick… Last week Valve’s high-end PC VR headset, the Valve Index, officially began shipping to customers eager to step into the generation of VR technology.

Valve launched Index, the high-quality PC VR headset, just a few days ago. As an enthusiast-level device, we likened it to a DSLR camera in out full review, setting itself apart from the easier to use, but more consumer-oriented Rift S (the point and shoot in our camera analogy). Now, Valve has released CAD files of the entire Index system so hardware tinkerers and pros can start creating parts for Index.

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.

There aren’t many virtual reality (VR) developers that sit in the industry’s upper echelons, providing continual high-quality videogame content. If a list was made then Survios would certainly be in there somewhere, having created notable experiences like Raw Data, Sprint Vector , Electronauts and Creed: Rise to Glory. The studio has another two on the way, Battlewake and The Walking Dead Onslaught and by the looks of things both are turning out nicely.

When it comes to making an impression at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles you need to go big. The South Hall tends to be a mixture of small booths and then massive ones, with Bethesda, Ubisoft and Epic Games’ Fortnight all taking up huge chunks of the floor. So it was quite a surprise that none of these made anywhere near as much noise as the RedPill VR/Sensorium Corp booth, for their upcoming social virtual reality (SVR) music platform.
