Augmented reality is an immersive technology that leverages computer vision-based recognition to superimpose graphics, videos, and sounds in a real-world environment. Compared to other technologies, AR seems to be becoming increasingly ubiquitous. From the realm of gaming , it has seeped into other verticals, reinventing old practices and changing lives for the better.

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.

You might have had a chance to try the first two chapters of Wolves in the Walls when it came to Rift last year, which left users of the interactive VR experience on a pretty intense cliffhanger to say the least.

Let’s be honest, Japan has some really cool stuff which never makes it to UK shores, whether that’s videogames, tech, merchandise and everything else. When Bandai Namco Entertainment launched Godzilla VR at the Osaka VR Zone arcade in 2018 the expectation was low that it would make it this far. Well, to VRFocus’ surprise Godzilla VR has done just that, now available at the Hollywood Bowl, in the O2, London.

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?
