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.

Guest Post. Many developers are capitalizing on the popularity of fast-growing virtual reality technology, and game software developers aren’t an exception. They integrate VR technology into their games to make them more fun. However, virtual reality can also reveal its full potential in another direction – VR escape rooms. Escape rooms are games where players should break free by solving mind-blowing puzzles and unraveling enigmatic secrets.

Since the beginning of the project, there has been a very close and special connection between the development team and the Pixel Ripped community, and the future of the se

(Header image courtesy of RefreshVR ). Virtual Reality is, relatively speaking, a new technology. And like with the introduction of any new tech, there’s the question of which department should take ownership of it when adopted. The answer at your company will have important ramifications — what budget VR comes from, what personnel gets put together for VR projects, what constitutes acceptable ROI, etc?

But trying to create stimulating content with the same tools you’ve always had is hard, right? Thankfully, wrong!

Initiatives like OpenVR have allowed platforms like Steam to be hardware agnostic, allowing almost any virtual reality (VR) headset which supports the protocol to be used. The industry is striving for ever greater openness and interconnectivity, hence why The Khronos Group and its affiliates began working on OpenXR. Soon Oculus will begin to adopt OpenXR with support reportedly coming in the latest Oculus Public Test Channel release.

Not only is that time-consuming, but also, people aren’t very good at it. So why train, when AR makes it obsolete?

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
