Switchable Vehicle Simulation Modes transform the company’s VR treadmill into a vehicle and cockpit simulator. KAT VR yesterday announced two new additions to its lineup of consumer-ready VR treadmills that promise more for less. Heading soon to Kickstarter, the Kat Walk C2 and KAT Walk C2 Plus feature a meriad of improvements over the original KAT Walk C, from advanced ergonomics to the first-ever ‘Vehicle Hub’ powered by a smart sitting posture system.

We can say that technology never sleeps or that humans never rest. Whichever way you look at it, innovations are constant. In accordance with the advent of the most transformational technologies of the past decade, mixed reality is seemingly a game-changer. Mixed reality comprises augmented reality and virtual reality but in a real-world setting. It is different from VR in the sense that holograms are overlaid onto what we see in the real world directly into the wearer’s field of vision.

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.

Though it has legitimate principles and promise, the term has been ambiguated through overuse.

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?
