With just four months to go in 2020, we still have plenty of VR gaming to look forward to. It goes without saying that 2020 has been a rollercoaster of a year so far. For VR, fortunately, the year has already given us a lot to be happy about. In January we received The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners , a thrilling and quite realistic zombie survival game.

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.

The use of VR technology in criminal justice is not entirely new. As early as the 1990s, it has been used to simulate accidents and examine crime scenes. Today, advances in technology have made it even more accurate and reliable, widening its use in various areas of the criminal justice system. In recent years, VR and other immersive technologies have been gradually integrated into the legal system.

Augmented reality for maintenance and repair Augmented reality ( AR ) can be defined as a system that fulfils three basic features: a combination of real and virtual worlds, real-time interaction, and accurate 3D registration of virtual and real objects. Implementing AR to maintenance and repair tasks could make it possible for field technicians to be trained, to find the best solutions for different issues, and to perform their tasks hands-free.

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?
