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.

Sony probably won’t be announcing a next-gen PSVR headset anytime soon, however the company is taking a big step this Thursday, June 11th, as it drops all-new game trailers for the upcoming PlayStation 5 console. Originally scheduled for June 4th, Sony delayed the event until this week to “step aside so key voices could be heard during this historic and important time,” says Sid Shuman, Senior Director of SIE Content Communications in a PS blog post.

Resolve , a new VR collaboration app for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries, makes it easy for firms to view massive 3D models, up to 500 million polygons, on Oculus Quest without manual prep work. VR is an excellent tool for visualizing complex 3D models, but Quest’s smartphone-level CPU, GPU, and RAM aren’t a great match for the massive BIM models often used in the AEC industries.

Electromigration is an issue that affects all electronics - the act of electrons bumping into silicon or copper atoms and moving them out of the crystal lattice raises the resistance of the wire, causing more voltage to be needed which exacerbates the issue. With modern processors, built on the nanometer scale, it becomes ever more important to keep the rate of electromigration low, as wires are only dozens of atoms wide.
