The last two days I’ve been in Germany to attend the LearnTec event together with Massimiliano Ariani , the game designer of the fitness game HitMotion: Reloaded , to have a speech about the latest developments of Mobile AR. In the expo area, I’ve visited some booths, and then I had a vision that made my eyes bright: the Varjo VR-2, the headset providing full resolution vision to its users.

From an aquatic VR experience that had us lying face-down in a pool to a meditative mixed reality piece that tracked breathing, there was no such thing as “too crazy” at New Frontier 2020.

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.
