Accessing PC VR content via your standalone headset just became exponentially easier. This past November, Facebook began rolling out beta access to Oculus Link , a game-changing service that allows standalone users to access high-end PC VR content on their Oculus Quest headsets using a compatible USB-C 3.0 cable. Due to high demand, however, Oculus’ official solution has been extremely difficult to obtain, as have several popular third-party alternatives.

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.
