Valve’s monthly Steam Survey has long offered useful insight into the share of VR headsets in use on Steam.

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.

What comes to mind when you think of Epson? If you’re like most people, probably printers and scanners. With the launch of Epson Moverio , the company hopes to change that perception and position itself as a leader in the enterprise AR. Epson is not new to AR.
