HaptX, a company building a VR glove offering impressively detailed haptic feedback as well as force feedback, is steadily improving. My hands-on with their latest device—which is smaller, lighter, and more comfortable than prior iterations—offered me moments of magic where it felt like my hand was actually interacting with real objects. Let’s get this out of the way up front: there’s still much room for improvement to HaptX’s haptic force feedback glove.

Yesterday I’ve listened to a talk by Kane Lee regarding the VR animated short movie “Crow: The Legend” that Baobab Studio is going to release. The plot of the movie is: The carefree forest animals imagine spring will last forever. However, winter comes and the animals soon realize that their lives are in danger. What they need is a hero; what they need is Crow: The Legend.

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.

Apply To Tribe 12 To me it seems obvious, “charge money for your product”, but for some reason engineers and entrepreneurs love to under value their hard work and instead want to use Venture Capitalists as a business model, or are worried about scaring off users. When an entrepreneur comes into my office and says “We have 3 months of money left.” You need to be willing to make drastic changes, and charge, or at the very least charge more!
