W elcome back to Spatial Beats. This week, we look at the ongoing proliferation of the metaverse as a buzzword and construct for spatial computing’s future. People are not done talking about the future metaverse, or metaverses. Since it’s only theoretical, some folks are having trouble understanding it, among them CNBC’s Jim Cramer. In an unhinged rant worthy of Rudy Guiliani, Cramer explained the metaverse is made by Unity, before correcting himself and crediting Nvidia instead.

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.

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?
