Let’s suppose your kids like learning about planets and space. How would you like it if they had a chance to go on a field trip to Mars? Chances are you would think that the idea is crazy. No one’s ever been to the Red Planet because, well, it’s extremely inhospitable to life. But the idea of seeing otherworldly landscapes and being a part of the human’s first step into the unknown would get your kids excited about learning, for sure.

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.

When it comes to Olympic sports all of them require time, dedication and training. When it comes to danger, however, there are some which outclass the rest, with ski jumping one of the more notable disciplines. Hence why few want to hurtle down an icy track and launch themselves into the air hoping to land safely, with fewer still taking it to a professional level.

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.

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.

With 191 country signatories to the Paris Climate Agreement now hard at work in the race to zero carbon by 2050, much of the heavy lifting in ecosystem sustainability falls on the shoulders of the world's densely populated urban centers. This conversation considers how today's AI-enabled simulation media, such as AR/VR, can be effectively applied to accelerate learning, understanding, training, and solutions-modeling to sustainability planning and design.

Tammeka Games’ racing title Radial-G: Racing Revolved has been around as long as VRFocus has, having first previewed the videogame way back in 2014. The futuristic title set on tubular tracks had its official launch in 2016 for PC virtual reality (VR) headsets followed by PlayStation VR in 2017. Indie publisher Things3D has now reinvigorated the franchise for Oculus Quest, with Radial-G: Proteus, offering new visuals but the same frantic gameplay.
